Scaffold attachment factor B1 (SAFB)

Binds to scaffold/matrix attachment region (S/MAR) DNA and forms a molecular assembly stage to enable the formation of a'transcriptosomal' complex (consisting of SR proteins and RNA polymerase II) coupling transcription and RNA processing (By similarity). Can function as an estrogen receptor corepressor and can also bind to the HSP27 promoter and decrease its transcription.

When associated with RBMX, binds to and stimulates transcription in the SREBF1 promoter (By similarity). Can inhibit cell proliferation.
