UniProt functional annotation for Q15583

UniProt code: Q15583.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Binds to a retinoid X receptor (RXR) responsive element from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter (CRBPII-RXRE). Inhibits the 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element. Active transcriptional corepressor of SMAD2. Links the nodal signaling pathway to the bifurcation of the forebrain and the establishment of ventral midline structures. May participate in the transmission of nuclear signals during development and in the adult, as illustrated by the down-modulation of the RXR alpha activities.
 
Subunit: Interacts with SMAD2 (PubMed:10835638). Interacts with CTBP, SMAD3 and HDAC1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10835638}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Disease: Holoprosencephaly 4 (HPE4) [MIM:142946]: A structural anomaly of the brain, in which the developing forebrain fails to correctly separate into right and left hemispheres. Holoprosencephaly is genetically heterogeneous and associated with several distinct facies and phenotypic variability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10835638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15221788}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the TALE/TGIF homeobox family. {ECO:0000305}.
