General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Transcription factors
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Acts as a regulator of transcriptional activation. Binds to the TNFSF11/RANKL promoter region and promotes TNFSF11 transcription (By similarity). Binding to the TNFSF11 promoter region is increased by high levels of Ca(2+) which induce NFATC3 expression and may lead to regulation of TNFSF11 expression in osteoblasts (By similarity). Plays a role in promoting mesenteric arterial wall remodeling in response to the intermittent hypoxia-induced increase in EDN1 and ROCK signaling (By similarity). As a result NFATC3 colocalizes with F-actin filaments, translocates to the nucleus and promotes transcription of the smooth muscle hypertrophy and differentiation marker ACTA2 (By similarity). Promotes lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes (By similarity). Following JAK/STAT signaling activation and as part of a complex with NFATC4 and STAT3, binds to the alpha-beta E4 promoter region of CRYAB and activates transcription in cardiomyocytes (By similarity). In conjunction with NFATC4, involved in embryonic heart development via maintenance of cardiomyocyte survival, proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 1. Required for thymocyte maturation during DN3 to DN4 transition and during positive selection (By similarity). Positively regulates macrophage-derived polymicrobial clearance, via binding to the promoter region and promoting transcription of NOS2 resulting in subsequent generation of nitric oxide (By similarity). Involved in Ca(2+)-mediated transcriptional responses upon Ca(2+) influx via ORAI1 CRAC channels....show less

Gene summary (Entrez)i
Useful information about the gene from Entrez
The product of this gene is a member of the nuclear factors of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex. This complex consists of at least two components: a preexisting cytosolic component that translocates to the nucleus upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation and an inducible nuclear component. Other members of this family participate to form this complex also. The product of this gene plays a role in the regulation of gene expression in T cells and immature thymocytes. Several transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]...show less
PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The Splice variant identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the Swissprot and TrEMBL columns links to corresponding pages in the UniProt database.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.
The length of the protein (amino acid residues according to Ensembl), molecular mass (kDalton), predicted signal peptide and number of predicted transmembrane region(s) according to in-house majority decision methods based on sets of predictors are also reported.
