The activation of gene transcription is a multistep
process that is triggered by factors that recognize transcriptional
enhancer sites in DNA. These factors work with co-activators to
direct transcriptional initiation by the RNA polymerase II
apparatus. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the
CRSP (cofactor required for SP1 activation) complex, which, along
with TFIID, is required for efficient activation by SP1. This
protein is also a component of other multisubunit complexes e.g.
thyroid hormone receptor-(TR-) associated proteins which interact
with TR and facilitate TR function on DNA templates in conjunction
with initiation factors and cofactors.1) Matsuoka, S., et al. Science 316(5828):1160-1166(2007)
