• Immunogen: A synthesized peptide derived from human NFAT2 around the phosphorylation site of Ser172.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Fragment: Fab fragment
• Post Translational Modifications: Phosphorylated by NFATC-kinase and GSK3B; phosphorylation induces NFATC1 nuclear exit and dephosphorylation by calcineurin promotes nuclear import. Phosphorylation by PKA and DYRK2 negatively modulates nuclear accumulation, and promotes subsequent phosphorylation by GSK3B or casein kinase 1.
• Subunit Structure: 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 HOMER2 and HOMER3; this interaction may compete with calcineurin/PPP3CA-binding and hence prevent NFATC1 dephosphorylation and activation.
• Similarity: Rel Similarity Domain (RSD) allows DNA-binding and cooperative interactions with AP1 factors.The N-terminal transactivation domain (TAD-A) binds to and is activated by Cbp/p300. The dephosphorylated form contains two unmasked nuclear localization signals (NLS), which allow translocation of the protein to the nucleus.Isoforms C have a C-terminal part with an additional trans-activation domain, TAD-B, which acts as a transcriptional activator. Isoforms B have a shorter C-terminal part without complete TAD-B which acts as a transcriptional repressor.
• 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 (PubMed:16511445). Nuclear translocation of NFATC1 is enhanced in the presence of TNFSF11. Nuclear translocation is decreased in the presence of FBN1 which can bind and sequester TNFSF11 (By similarity).

NCBI Description

The product of this gene is a component of the nuclear factor 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. Proteins belonging to this family of transcription factors play a central role in inducible gene transcription during immune response. The product of this gene is an inducible nuclear component. It functions as a major molecular target for the immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Different isoforms of this protein may regulate inducible expression of different cytokine genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
