General annotation (Comments)

Function	Interacts with the upstream promoter region of the oxytocin receptor gene. May be a transcriptional enhancer in the up-regulation of the oxytocin receptor gene at parturition. Since it lacks a putative transactivation domain, it may behave as a transcriptional repressor when it dimerize among himself. May also serve as a transcriptional activator by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites. May be involved in the cellular stress response.
Subunit structure	Monomer and homo- or heterodimer. Interacts with MIP. Ref.6
Subcellular location	Nucleus.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in the term myometrium and kidney.
Induction	By oxidative stress. Ref.5
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily. Contains 1 bZIP domain.
