Description
Ca(2+)-regulated transcription factor that is involved in several processes, including the development and function of the immune, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. Involved in T-cell activation, stimulating the transcription of cytokine genes, including that of IL2 and IL4 (PubMed:17198697). Along with NFATC3, involved in embryonic heart development (PubMed:12750314, PubMed:17198697). Involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism required for cardiac morphogenesis and function (PubMed:12750314). Transactivates many genes involved in heart physiology. Along with GATA4, binds to and activates NPPB/BNP promoter (PubMed:9568714). Activates NPPA/ANP/ANF and MYH7/beta-MHC transcription (By similarity). Binds to and transactivates AGTR2 gene promoter (PubMed:17198697). Involved in the regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Involved in BDNF-driven pro-survival signaling in hippocampal adult-born neurons. Involved in the formation of long-term spatial memory and long-term potentiation (PubMed:22586092). In cochlear nucleus neurons, may play a role in deafferentation-induced apoptosis during a developmental critical period when auditory neurons depend on afferent input for survival (PubMed:18354019). Binds to and activates the BACE1/Beta-secretase 1 promoter, hence may regulate the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Plays a role in adipocyte differentiation. May be involved in myoblast differentiation into myotubes (By similarity). Binds the consensus DNA sequence 5'-GGAAAAT-3' (Probable). In the presence of CREBBP, activates TNF transcription. Binds to PPARG gene promoter and regulates its activity (By similarity). Binds to PPARG and REG3G gene promoters (PubMed:17198697).
