Function |
Transcriptional repressor that plays a central role for embryogenesis and the pluripotency of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Sequence-specific DNA-binding factor that represses gene expression in pluripotent ES cells by directly binding to key genetic loci and recruiting epigenetic modifiers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18585351}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18585351}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18585351}. Note=May be regulated by shuttling of the protein between the cytoplasm and nucleus.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Mainly restricted to pluripotent cells of the developing embryo, to oocytes, and to certain regions of the adult brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18585351}.
