May play a role as coactivator in transcriptional activation by hormone-activated nuclear receptors (NR) and acts in cooperation with NCOA2 and CARM1. Involved in estrogen hormone signaling . Essential for early bryonic development. May play a role in regulation of cytoskeletal rearrangents involved in cytokinesis and cell migration, by inhibiting Rac1-dependent paxillin phosphorylation.
