NCIt synonyms : Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells; NFAT-1;
NCIt definition : NFAT is a multi-subunit transcription complex that includes homo- or hetero-dimers
of FOS and JUN proteins. NFATC, the Dorsal/Rel family cytosolic component of NFAT,
is translocated to the nucleus following TCR-induced PKC stimulation and calmodulin-dependent
calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Phosphoprotein NFATP, the 'preexisting component'
of NFAT present in the unstimulated T-cell cytosol, locates in the nucleus as part
of NFAT after activation.;
