Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a bHLH-zip transcription factor which functions in the mitogen-activate protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Because of its role in the upregulation of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, this gene may serve as a target for Ras-induced tumor treatments. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011].
- UniProt Summary: Transcription factor that binds to the DNA sequence 5'- CANNTG-3'(E box) and the G-box motif. May play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation during spermatogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
