The CCAAT-binding factor CBF/NF-Y is needed for cell proliferation and early embryonic development. NF-Y can regulate the expression of different cell type-specific genes that are activated by various physiological signaling pathways. Dysregulation of NF-Y was observed in pathogenic conditions in humans such as scleroderma, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer. Conditional inactivation of the NF-YA gene in mice demonstrated that NF-Y activity is essential for normal tissue homeostasis, survival, and metabolic function. Altogether, NF-Y is an essential transcription factor that plays a critical role in mammalian development, from the early stages to adulthood, and in human pathogenesis.
