Function | Transcription factor required for the development of the heart and the spleen. During heart development, acts as a transcriptional activator of NPPA/ANF in cooperation with GATA4. May cooperate with TBX2 to negatively modulate expression of NPPA/ANF in the atrioventricular canal. Binds to the core DNA motif of NPPA promoter. Together with PBX1, required for spleen development through a mechanism that involves CDKN2B repression. Positively regulates transcription of genes such as COL3A1 and MMP2, resulting in increased pulmonary endothelial fibrosis in response to hypoxia. |
