Developmental stage

Expressed predominantly during embryogenesis. In myogenic progenitor cells, expressed during early myogenic development (11.5 dpc) to be gradually down-regulated during the fetal stages (17.5 dpc) (PubMed:27446912).

Function

Functions as a transcriptional regulator. Functions in cell cycle regulation through CCNA2. Plays an important role in chromosome condensation during the meiotic G2/M transition of spermatocytes. Plays a role in postnatal myogenesis, is involved in satellite cell activation (PubMed:27446912). Positively regulates IGF2 expression through PLAG1 and in a PLAG1-independent manner (By similarity).

Post-translational modifications

Regulated by cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation which alters its DNA binding affinity. Phosphorylated by NEK2.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the HMGA family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in mitotic spermatogonia, meiotic spermatocytes, and postmeiotic round spermatids (at protein level) (PubMed:14668482). Expressed in embryonic myogenic progenitor cells (PubMed:27446912).
