Specifically binds the insulin enhancer element RIPE3b and activates insulin gene expression. Cooperates synergistically with NEUROD1 and PDX1. Phosphorylation by GSK3 increases its transcriptional activity and is required for its oncogenic activity. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12011435, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12368292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15665000, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15993959, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18042454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19143053}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |bZIP Maf| |Maf N| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |nitric oxide mediated signal transduction| |insulin secretion| |peptide hormone secretion| |hormone secretion| |hormone transport| |response to glucose| |response to hexose| |response to monosaccharide| |protein secretion| |establishment of protein localization to extracellular region| |protein localization to extracellular region| |signal release| |response to carbohydrate| |peptide secretion| |second-messenger-mediated signaling| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |protein heterodimerization activity| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |regulation of hormone levels| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |protein homodimerization activity| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |cell-cell signaling| |secretion| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |DNA binding| |protein transport| |peptide transport| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |amide transport| |establishment of protein localization| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |intracellular signal transduction| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |nitrogen compound transport| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 11765 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -1.86 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='MAFA Expression in NALM6 Cells: -1.86'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
