Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a protein that functions as part of a heterodimer to activate transcription. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with Max-like protein X (MLX) and is involved in the regulation of genes in response to cellular glucose levels. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014].
UniProt Summary: Binds DNA as a heterodimer with MLX and activates transcription. Binds to the canonical E box sequence 5'-CACGTG-3'. Plays a role in transcriptional activation of glycolytic target genes. Involved in glucose-responsive gene regulation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2VPU4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782875}.
