Protein function (UniProt)

Transcription factor 12

Transcriptional regulator. Involved in the initiation of neuronal differentiation. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3') (By similarity). May be involved in the functional network that regulates the development of the GnRH axis (PubMed:32620954)
