Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including glucose mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose; and response to UV. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; chromatin; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiovascular system disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human USF1 (upstream transcription factor 1).
