NFATC3: Proteins and Enzymes

NFATC3 (Nuclear factor of activated T cells C3; also NFAT4 and NFATx) is a 145-150 kDa member of the NFAT family of transcription factors. NFATC3 is widely expressed being found in DP thymocytes, CD4+ T cells, smooth muscle cells, Schwann cells and mast cells. NFATC3 regulates gene transcription as part of a NFATC transcription complex. It is normally cytoplasmic and phosphorylated. Upon a rise in intracellular Ca⁺², dephosphorylation occurs via calcineurin, and NFATC3 enters the nucleus. Human ...
