Transcription factor required for development of the vascular component of the pronephric kidney, the glomus; may repress tubule-specific gene expression in the portion of the pronephros fated to form the glomus (By similarity). Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GCG(T/G)GGGCG-3' (By similarity). Inhibits Wnt-signaling during embryonic development (By similarity). Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. Binds to DNA motifs with the sequence 5'-GCG(T/G)GGGCG-3' via its C2H2-type zinc fingers. Starting from the N-terminus, the second zinc finger binds to the 3'-GCG motif, the middle zinc finger interacts with the central TGG motif, and the C-terminal zinc finger binds to the 5'-GCG motif. Binds double-stranded target DNA, irrespective of the cytosine methylation status. Has reduced affinity for target DNA where the cytosines have been oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine or 5-carboxylcytosine. The 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors. Belongs to the EGR C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.
