Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; chromatin binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in T cell differentiation in thymus; positive regulation of artery morphogenesis; and positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; cellular response to metal ion; and circulatory system development. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Orthologous to human NFATC3 (nuclear factor of activated T cells 3).
