Alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist ,Domain:Rel Similarity Domain (RSD) allows DNA-binding and cooperative interactions with AP1 factors. ,Function:Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells , especially in the induction of the IL-2 , IL-3 , IL-4 , TNF-alpha or GM-CSF. ,induction:Inducibly expressed in T-lymphocytes upon activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex. Induced after co-addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. ,PTM:In resting cells , phosphorylated by NFATC-kinase on at least 18 sites in the 99-363 region. Upon cell stimulation , all these sites except Ser-243 are dephosphorylated by calcineurin. Dephosphorylation induces a conformational change that simultaneously exposes an NLS and masks an NES , which results in nuclear localization. Simultaneously , Ser-53 or Ser-56 is phosphorylated; which is required for full transcriptional activity. ,similarity:Contains 1 RHD (Rel-like) domain. ,subcellular location: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. ,subunit: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. The phosphorylated form specifically interacts with XPO1; which mediates nuclear export. NFATC proteins bind to DNA as monomers. Interacts with NFATC2IP. ,tissue specificity:Expressed in thymus , spleen , heart , testis , brain , placenta , muscle and pancreas. ,
