Transcription factor that binds DNA in a non-specific manner, yet also specifically recognizes the core sequence 5′-CAC[GA]TG-3′. Activates the transcription of growth-related genes. Binds to the VEGFA promoter, promoting VEGFA production and subsequent sprouting angiogenesis. Regulator of somatic reprogramming, controls self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. Functions with TAF6L to activate target gene expression through RNA polymerase II pause release (PubMed: 31005419).
