Q86UP3

Transcription factor playing an important role inprimary neurulation and in epithelial development(PubMed:29309642, PubMed:25152456). Binds directly to theconsensus DNA sequence 5'-AACCGGTT-3' acting as an activator andrepressor on distinct target genes (By similarity). Duringembryogenesis, plays unique and cooperative roles with GRHL3 inestablishing distinct zones of primary neurulation. Essential forclosure 3 (rostral end of the forebrain), functions cooperativelywith GRHL3 in closure 2 (forebrain/midbrain boundary) andposterior neuropore closure (By similarity). Regulates epithelialmorphogenesis acting as a target gene-associated transcriptionalactivator of apical junctional complex components. Up-regulates ofCLDN3 and CLDN4, as well as of RAB25, which increases the CLDN4protein and its localization at tight junctions (By similarity).Comprises an essential component of the transcriptional machinerythat establishes appropriate expression levels of CLDN4 and CDH1in different types of epithelia. Exhibits functional redundancywith GRHL3 in epidermal morphogenetic events and epidermal woundrepair (By similarity). In lung, forms a regulatory loop withNKX2-1 that coordinates lung epithelial cell morphogenesis anddifferentiation (By similarity). In keratinocytes, plays a role intelomerase activation during cellular proliferation, regulatesTERT expression by binding to TERT promoter region and inhibitingDNA methylation at the 5'-CpG island, possibly by interfering withDNMT1 enzyme activity (PubMed:19015635, PubMed:20938050). Inaddition, impairs keratinocyte differentiation and epidermalfunction by inhibiting the expression of genes clustered at theepidermal differentiation complex (EDC) as well as GRHL1 and GRHL3through epigenetic mechanisms (PubMed:23254293).{ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K5C0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19015635,ECO:0000269|PubMed:20938050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20978075,ECO:0000269|PubMed:23254293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25152456,ECO:0000269|PubMed:29309642, ECO:0000305|PubMed:12175488}. May play a role in neural and muscle differentiation (Bysimilarity). May be involved in transcriptional regulation.{ECO:0000250}.
