NFATC Transcription Factors

NFATC-transkriptionsfaktorer

Svensk definition

En familj transkriptionsfaktorer vars kännetecken är närvaro av väl bevarade kalcineurin- och DNA-bindande domäner. NFAT-proteiner aktiveras i cytoplasman av det kalciumberoende fosfataset kalcineurin. De överför kalciumsignaler till cellkärnan, där de kan samverka med transkriptionsfaktor AP-1 eller NF-kappa B och påbörja genetisk transkription av gener som har med celldifferentiering och utveckling att göra. NFAT-proteiner stimulerar T-cellsaktivering genom att sätta igång snabbverkande gener, så som interleukin-2.

Engelsk definition

A family of transcription factors characterized by the presence of highly conserved calcineurin- and DNA-binding domains. NFAT proteins are activated in the CYTOPLASM by the calcium-dependent phosphatase CALCINEURIN. They transduce calcium signals to the nucleus where they can interact with TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1 or NF-KAPPA B and initiate GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION of GENES involved in CELL DIFFERENTIATION and development. NFAT proteins stimulate T-CELL activation through the induction of IMMEDIATE-EARLY GENES such as INTERLEUKIN-2.
