Protein attributes

Sequence length	303 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Role in mesoderm induction and its earliest regional specification, somitogenesis, and myogenic and sclerotomal differentiation. May have a regulatory role when quiescent vascular smooth muscle cells reenter the cell cycle.
Subunit structure	Interacts with RNF10 By similarity.
Subcellular location	Nucleus Potential.
Developmental stage	It is not expressed before 8-8.5 dpc. At 8-8.5 dpc it is found on the entire epithelium of the somite. At 9.5 dpc its expression is restricted to the sclerotome. At 10.5 dpc it is found in sclerotomally derived cells including the vertebral and costal precursors.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
