This gene is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X
and Y chromosomes. It was earlier identified as a gene with similarity to Ac
transposable elements, however, was found not to have transposase activity.
Later studies show that this gene product is localized in the nucleus and
functions as a transcription factor. It binds to DNA elements found in the
promoter regions of several genes related to cell proliferation, such as
histone H1, hence may have a role in regulating genes related to cell
proliferation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5'
untranslated region have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan

Vaquerizas 2009 TF classification
"a" Has direct evidence of TF function;
"b" Has evidence for an orthologous TF;
"c" contains likely DBDs, but has no functional evidence;
"x" is an unlikely TF such as predicted gene, genes with likely non-specific DBDs or that have function outside transcription;
"other" category contains proteins without clear DBDs they curated from external sources.

Initial Assessment 1a1 Protein has a high confidence PWM (HT-SELEX, PBM or B1H model) or there is a crystal structure that supports sequence specific DNA binding;
1a2 There is high confidence data for a close ortholog (as defined in CisBP);
2a1 There is lower confidence direct evidence, such as a Jaspar, Hocomoco or Transfac model;
2a2 There is lower confidence evidence for an close ortholog;
3a There is decent circumstantial evidence for its role as a TF or not;
4a Two or more datasets predict it as a TF;
5a One of the source datasets predicts is as a TF
