Summary

Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) is a family of transcription factors whose activation is controlled by Ca and the Ca/calmodulin-dependent serine phosphatase, calcineurin. It is shown to be important in immune response. NFAT is also involved in the development of cardiac, skeletal muscle, and nervous systems.The molecular functions of this gene include chromatin binding, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription factor binding while the molecular functions include negative regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and response to salt stress.
