All UniProt accessions (1): Q96H86

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Zinc finger protein that functions as a cofactor for steroid hormone receptors, such as NR3C1/GR. Directs NR3C1/GR transcriptional activity toward specific biologic pathways by changing NR3C1/GR binding and transcriptional activity on the glucocorticoid-responsive genes.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via KRAB domain) with NR3C1/GR (via NR LBD domain); the interaction regulates transcription factor activity of NR3C1 by directing its actions toward certain biologic pathways.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Domain organisation. The KRAB domain and the zinc finger domain are both necessary for the regulation of NR3C1/GR transcriptional activity.

Similarity. Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
