Technical
The following transcription factors affect gene expression:
Tissue specificity:
Expressed in brain, placental, skeletal muscle, renal, pancreatic and adipose tissues; expressed at low level in pulmonary tissue; not detected in the liver.
Gene Pathways:
Enzyme Regulation:
By phosphorylation (By similarity). Activity is increased by oligomerization. Citrate and MID1IP1 promote oligomerization.
Cofactor:
Binds 2 manganese ions per subunit.
