Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) was first described as an activation and differentiation transcription factor in lymphocytes. Several in vitro studies suggest that NFAT family members are redundant proteins. However, analysis of mice deficient for NFAT proteins suggested different roles for the NFAT family of transcription factors in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. NFAT may also...
