- Background
- NFATC1 (Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1), also known as NFATC or NFAT2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NFATC1 gene. And it is also a component of the nuclear factor of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex. The NFATC1 gene is mapped on 18q23. Proteins belonging to this family of transcription factors play a central role in inducible gene transcription during immune response. NFATC1 was not detected in brain, liver, or kidney. NFATC1 is an inducible nuclear component which functions as a major molecular target for the immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A. The solution structure of the binary complex formed between the core DNA-binding domain of human NFATC1 and the 12-bp oligonucleotide duplex containing the ARRE2 DNA site from the IL2 promoter. Nfatc1 was expressed exclusively in mouse hair follicle stem cells, and using gain- and loss-of-function approaches, and Nfatc1 inhibited stem cell activation.

- Clonality
- Polyclonal
- Tissue Specificity
- Expressed in thymus, peripheral leukocytes as T-cells and spleen. Isoforms A are preferentially expressed in effector T-cells (thymus and peripheral leukocytes) whereas isoforms B and isoforms C are preferentially expressed in naive T- cells (spleen) . Isoforms B are expressed in naive T-cells after first antigen exposure and isoforms A are expressed in effector T- cells after second antigen exposure. Isoforms IA are widely expressed but not detected in liver nor pancreas, neural expression is strongest in corpus callosum. Isoforms IB are expressed mostly in muscle, cerebellum, placenta and thymus, neural expression in fetal and adult brain, strongest in corpus callosum.

- Function
- Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 or IL-4 gene transcription. Also controls gene expression in embryonic cardiac cells. Could regulate not only the activation and proliferation but also the differentiation and programmed death of T-lymphocytes as well as lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells (PubMed:10358178) . Required for osteoclastogenesis and regulates many genes important for osteoclast differentiation and function (By similarity) .
