. "FUNCTION: Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 and IL- 4. Transcriptionally repressed by estrogen receptors; this inhibition is further enhanced by estrogen. Increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and has a direct role in adipocyte differentiation. May play an important role in myotube differentiation. May play a critical role in cardiac development and hypertrophy. May play a role in deafferentation-induced apoptosis of sensory neurons. SUBUNIT: Member of the multicomponent NFATC transcription complex that consists of at least two components, a pre-existing cytoplasmic component NFATC2 and an inducible nuclear component NFATC1. Other members such as NFATC4, NFATC3 or members of the activating protein-1 family, MAF, GATA4 and Cbp/p300 can also bind the complex. NFATC proteins bind to DNA as monomers. Interacts with CREBBP, GATA4, IRAK1, MAPK8, MAPK9 and RPS6KA3. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription.

Weakly expressed in spleen and thymus. Not expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Detected in hippocampus. DOMAIN: Rel Similarity Domain (RSD) allows DNA-binding and cooperative interactions with AP1 factors (By similarity). PTM: Phosphorylated by NFATC-kinases; dephosphorylated by calcineurin. Phosphorylated on Ser-168 and Ser-170 by MTOR, IRAK1, MAPK7 and MAPK14, on Ser-213 and Ser-217 by MAPK8 and MAPK9, and on Ser-289 and Ser-344 by RPS6KA3. Phosphorylated by GSK3B. PTM: Ubiquitinated, leading to its degradation by the proteasome and reduced transcriptional activity. Ubiquitination and reduction in transcriptional activity can be further facilitated through GSK3B-dependent phosphorylation. Polyubiquitin linkage is mainly through 'Lys-48'. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 IPT/TIG domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RHD (Rel-like) domain. GENE SYNONYMS:NFATC4 NFAT3.
