nuclear factor of activated T-cells 2

Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 2; NF-ATc2; NFATc2; NFAT pre-existing subunit; NF-ATp; T-cell transcription factor NFAT1; NFATC2; NFAT1, NFATP;

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. Promotes invasive migration through the activation of GPC6 expression and WNT5A signaling pathway.

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. 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.

Expressed in thymus, spleen, heart, testis, brain, placenta, muscle and pancreas. Isoform 1 is highly expressed in the small intestine, heart, testis, prostate, thymus, placenta and thyroid. Isoform 3 is highly expressed in stomach, uterus, placenta, trachea and thyroid.

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot.

NFATC2 (Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 2), also known as NFATP or the 'preexisting component' of NFAT, is present in the cytosolic fraction of unstimulated T cells, which is also a member of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family. The NFATC2 gene is mapped on 20q13.2. NFATC2 is highly homologous to NFATC1 over a limited domain which shows similarity to the Dorsal/Rel family but has a wider tissue distribution. Ectopic expression of NFATC2 inhibited the basal activity of the human CDK4 promoter. Additionally, both Calna-/- and Nfatc2 -/- mice had elevated protein levels of Cdk4, confirming a negative regulatory role for the calcineurin/NFAT pathway. NFATC2 controls myoblast fusion at a specific stage of myogenesis after the initial formation of a myotube and is necessary for further cell growth. Overexpression of NFATC2 promoted differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells into tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP-positive) multinucleated osteoclast-like cells even in the absence of RANKL.
