Transcriptional factor that binds to the consensus sequence 5'-[GT][AG][AGT]GGGG-3' and acts as a repressor of autophagy. Specifically represses expression of genes involved in autophagy and lysosome biogenesis/function such as MAP1LC3B, ULK1 or WIPI2. Associates with chromatin at the ITGB4 and VEGF promoters (By similarity). Mainly localizes in the nucleus. Under starvation conditions translocates to the cytoplasm, allowing expression of target genes involved in autophagy and lysosome biogenesis/function (By similarity). Expressed in heart, brain, spleen, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and testis. Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
