NFIL3 is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that represses or activates transcription in non-osteoblastic cells. NFIL3 play a role in attenuation of PTH target gene transcription in osteoblasts. NFIL3 repression domain interacts specifically with the TBP binding repressor protein Dr1.Glucocorticoid-mediated upregulation of the bZIP transcriptional repressor gene, NFIL3, is dependent on [Ca2+]i levels, and correlates with Glucocorticoid-evoked apoptosis of Glucocorticoid-sensitive CEM-C7-14 cells. NFIL3 is involved in a distinct growth factor-regulated signaling pathway that is responsible for the survival of early B-cell progenitors, and whose alteration by E2A-HLF leads to childhood B lineage leukemia.
