CC -!- FUNCTION: Acts as a transcriptional repressor (By similarity). Has
CC mitogenic activity for fibroblasts (By similarity). Heparin-binding
CC protein (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer, and domain-swapped homodimer (By similarity).
CC Interacts with nuclear proteins NCL and YBX1/YB1 (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}.
CC -!- INTERACTION:
CC P51859; Q3UMU9: Hdgfl2; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-2943087, EBI-7627961;
CC P51859; Q3UMU9-1; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-2943087, EBI-7627862;
CC P51859; Q3UMU9-3; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-2943087, EBI-7627932;
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}. Cytoplasm
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}. Secreted, extracellular exosome
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087088}. Note=Secreted by exosomes and is located
CC inside the exosome (By similarity). May also be secreted as free
CC protein via an as yet unknown pathway (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed predominantly in testis and skeletal
CC muscle, to intermediate extents in heart, brain, lung, liver, and
CC kidney, and to a minimal extent in spleen.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The PWWP domain harbors the heparin-binding sites and is
CC responsible for DNA-binding, while the C-terminal region is essentially
CC unstructured. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The N-terminal region does not contain a typical signal
CC sequence but is required for secretion (PubMed:21087088). It also
CC determines exosomal location (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087088}.
CC -!- PTM: Sumoylated with SUMO1. Sumoylation prevents binding to chromatin.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51858}.
CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylation at Ser-165 is likely to be required for secretion.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21087088}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the HDGF family. {ECO:0000305}.
