The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein may be involved in brain development and function. Haploinsufficiency for this protein may contribute to the cognitive disability found in an alpha-thalassemia-related syndrome (ART-16). This protein is also highly expressed in the majority of human hepatocellular carcinomas and promotes cellular proliferation and enhanced tumor growth. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: May play a role in central nervous system, limb and facial development. May be involved in male sex determination. Binds the consensus motif 5'-[AT][AT]CAA[AT]G-3' (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Sox N| |HMG box| |retinal rod cell differentiation| |renal vesicle induction| |astrocyte fate commitment| |metanephric
