Function |
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound sequence-specific transcription factor that directly binds DNA and activates transcription (PubMed:9271389, PubMed:19779205, PubMed:10984507, PubMed:15845366, PubMed:16940180). Plays a role in the unfolded protein response (UPR), promoting cell survival versus ER stress-induced apoptotic cell death (PubMed:15845366, PubMed:16940180). Also involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, tumor suppression and inflammatory gene expression. Acts as a positive regulator of LKN-1/CCL15-induced chemotaxis signaling of leukocyte cell migration (PubMed:19779205, PubMed:15001559, PubMed:17296613). Associates with chromatin to the HERPUD1 promoter (PubMed:16940180). Also induces transcriptional activation of chemokine receptors (PubMed:18587271, PubMed:17296613). |
