Antigen Description

This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator that forms nuclear bodies and interacts with the transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein. The encoded protein plays an important role in immunity by regulating the expression of autoantigens and negative selection of autoreactive T-cells in the thymus. Mutations in this gene cause the rare autosomal-recessive systemic autoimmune disease termed autoimmune polyendocrinopathy with candidiasis and ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).

Function

DNA binding; chromatin binding; histone binding; identical protein binding; metal ion binding; protein binding; transcription regulatory region DNA binding; translation regulator activity; zinc ion binding;

Synonyms
