Summary
NFIL3 (nuclear factor, interleukin 3 regulated, HGNC:7787) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q22.31, encoding Nuclear factor interleukin-3-regulated protein (Q16649). Acts as a transcriptional regulator that recognizes and binds to the sequence 5’-[GA]TTA[CT]GTAA[CT]-3’, a sequence present in many cellular and viral promoters.
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional regulator that binds as a homodimer to activating transcription factor (ATF) sites in many cellular and viral promoters. The encoded protein represses PER1 and PER2 expression and therefore plays a role in the regulation of circadian rhythm. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
