The encoded protein plays an essential role in regulating transcription of genes involved in the development and proliferation of hematopoietic and endocrine cell lineages. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009] Expression Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 28.7), endometrium (RPKM 17.9) and 16 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
