Together with dimethylated PIAS1, represses STAT1 transcriptional activity, in the late phase of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling. May be involved in the regulation of TAF15 transcriptional activity, serve as an activator of estrogen receptor (ER)-mediated transactivation, play an integral role in neurite outgrowth and act as a negative regulator of megakaryocytic differentiation, by regulating p38 MAPK pathway.

Widely expressed (PubMed:11097842). Expressed strongly in colorectal cancer cells (at protein level) (PubMed:28040436). Expressed strongly in colorectal cancer tissues compared to wild-type colon samples (at protein level) (PubMed:28040436).
