Protein function (UniProt)

Short stature homeobox protein

Transcription factor that controls fundamental aspects of growth. Directly activates NPPB transcription in osteogenic cells (PubMed:11751690, PubMed:17881654). Preferentially binds DNA elements with the sequence 5'-TAATNNNATTA-3', possibly as a homodimer (PubMed:11751690)
