Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion; chromosome segregation; and signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of epithelial cell apoptotic process and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of inner kinetochore.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a transcriptional coregulator that binds to and enhances the activity of members of the nuclear receptor families, thyroid hormone receptors and retinoid X receptors. This protein also acts as a corepressor of NF-kappaB-dependent signaling. This protein induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells through a caspase 2-mediated signaling pathway. This protein is also a component of the centromere-specific histone H3 variant nucleosome associated complex (CENP-NAC) and may be involved in mitotic progression by recruiting the histone H3 variant CENP-A to the centromere. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
