This gene product is a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family of transcription factors, which contain the TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. It is preferentially expressed in the skeletal muscle, and binds to the M-CAT regulatory element found in promoters of muscle-specific genes to direct their gene expression. This factor may play a role in the embryonic development of skeletal muscle. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms, which are translated through the use of a non-AUG (AUU) initiation codon, have been described for this gene.
