UniProt Annotation
Function May be involved in modulating the expression of photoreceptor specific genes. Binds to the Ret-1 and Bat-1 element within the rhodopsin promoter (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Nucleus {ECO:0000255PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00108}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in retina. Stronger expression in cells of the outer nuclear layers than in cells of the inner nuclear layers. Also weakly detected in brain, testis and spleen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15028672}.
