Entrez Gene ID

Antigen Description

Downregulates SLC1A2/EAAT2 promoter activity when expressed ectopically. Activates the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa-B) transcription factor. Promotes anchorage-independent growth of immortalized melanocytes and astrocytes which is a key component in tumor cell expansion. Promotes lung metastasis and also has an effect on bone and brain metastasis, possibly by enhancing the seeding of tumor cells to the target organ endothelium. Induces chemoresistance.

Function

NF-kappaB binding; RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding; double-stranded RNA binding; poly(A) RNA binding; protein binding; transcription coactivator activity;
