Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 2 (NFATC2), also named NFAT1, or NFATP, is a 925 amino acid protein, which is expressed in thymus, spleen, heart, testis, brain, placenta, muscle and pancreas. Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription. NFATC2 plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, TNF-alpha or GM-CSF. NFATC2 promotes invasive migration through the activation of GPC6 expression and WNT5A signaling pathway. The calculated molecular weight of NFATC2 is about 97-100 kDa, but the modified NFATC2 protein is about 135 kDa.
