Protein
Nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha
Function
Component of the sequence-specific heterotrimeric transcription factor (NF-Y) which specifically recognizes a 5'-CCAAT-3' box motif found in the promoters of its target genes. NF-Y can function as both an activator and a repressor, depending on its interacting cofactors. NF-YA positively regulates the transcription of the core clock component ARNTL/BMAL1 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the NFYA/HAP2 subunit family.
