这个基因编码绿洲bzip转录因子家族的一个成员。这个家族的成员可以二聚体，但只能形成同二聚体。编码的蛋白质是一种转录激活物。在一些肿瘤中，7号染色体上的这个基因和16号染色体上的肉瘤融合基因之间存在易位。已发现该基因编码不同亚型的多个转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2011年12月]
This gene encodes a member of the oasis bZIP transcription factor family. Members of this family can dimerize but form homodimers only. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator. Translocations between this gene on chromosome 7 and the gene fused in sarcoma on chromosome 16 can be found in some tumors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
