Protein
Immediate early response gene 2 protein
Function
DNA-binding protein that seems to act as a transcription factor (PubMed:19584537). Involved in the regulation of neuronal differentiation, acts upon JNK-signaling pathway activation and plays a role in neurite outgrowth in hippocampal cells (By similarity). May mediate with FIBP FGF-signaling in the establishment of laterality in the embryo (By similarity). Promotes cell motility, seems to stimulate tumor metastasis (PubMed:22120713).
Similarity
Belongs to the IER family.
