UniProtKB description:  Key pioneer transcription factor of B-cell specification and commitment (PubMed:1915300, PubMed:7542362, PubMed:23812095). Recognizes variations of the palindromic sequence 5'-ATTCCCNNGGGAATT-3' (PubMed:20876732). Operates in a transcription factor network to activate B-cell-specific genes and repress genes associated with alternative cell fates (PubMed:23812095, PubMed:20451411). For instance, positively regulates many B-cell specific genes including BCR or CD40 while repressing genes that direct cells into alternative lineages, including GATA3 and TCF7 for the T-cell lineage (PubMed:23812095, PubMed:20451411). In addition to its role during lymphopoiesis, controls the thermogenic gene program in adipocytes during development and in response to environmental cold (PubMed:32130892).
