Function. Transcription factor. Acts as a transcriptional activator by binding to promoter regions of target genes, such as PDCD4, PIK3IP1, MXD4, PNRC1, and RFX5. Plays a role in natural killer (NK) cell maintenance and immunity. May play a role in the process of ciliogenesis in the neural tube and neural tube closure.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via PxLPxI/L motif) with RFXANK (via ankyrin repeats). Interacts (via PxLPxI/L motif) with ANKRA2 (via ankyrin repeats).
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed in many different tissue types including thymus and placenta, with high expression in brain. Expressed in both inhibitory and excitatory neurons in cortex.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 71, with behavioral abnormalities (MRD71) [MIM:620330] An autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, speech delay, and impaired intellectual development. Most patients manifest neurobehavioral features including autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Other frequent features include hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli and sleep problems. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The PxLPxI/L motif mediates interaction with ankyrin repeats of ANKRA2 and RFXANK.
Similarity. Belongs to the RFX family.
