Background:Transcription factor that plays a key role in chondrocytes differentiation and skeletal development (PubMed:10319868, PubMed:11371614, PubMed:12414734, PubMed:15132997, PubMed:18415932, PubMed:20940257, PubMed:28263186). Specifically binds the 5'-ACAAAG-3' DNA motif present in enhancers and super-enhancers and promotes expression of genes important for chondrogenesis, including cartilage matrix protein-coding genes COL2A1, COL4A2, COL9A1, COL11A2 and ACAN, SOX5 and SOX6 (PubMed:9119111, PubMed:10805756, PubMed:12414734, PubMed:15694126, PubMed:17525254, PubMed:26146088, PubMed:26150426, PubMed:26910618, PubMed:28263186). Also binds to some promoter regions (PubMed:20940257). Plays a central role in successive steps of chondrocyte differentiation (PubMed:11371614, PubMed:12414734, PubMed:22421045). Absolutely required for precartilaginous condensation, the first step in chondrogenesis during which skeletal progenitors differentiate into prechondrocytes (PubMed:11371614, PubMed:12414734). Together with SOX5 and SOX6, required for overt chondrogenesis when condensed prechondrocytes differentiate into early stage chondrocytes, the second step in chondrogenesis (PubMed:11371614, PubMed:12414734, PubMed:15529345). Later, required to direct hypertrophic maturation and block osteoblast differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes: maintains chondrocyte columnar proliferation, delays prehypertrophy and then prevents osteoblastic differentiation of chondrocytes by lowering beta-catenin (CTNNB1) signaling and RUNX2 expression (PubMed:22421045, PubMed:31121357). Also required for chondrocyte hypertrophy, both indirectly, by keeping the lineage fate of chondrocytes, and directly, by remaining present in upper hypertrophic cells and transactivating COL10A1 along with MEF2C (PubMed:21367821, PubMed:22421045). Low lipid levels are the main nutritional determinant for chondrogenic commitment of skeletal progenitor cells: when lipids levels are low, FOXO (FOXO1 and FOXO3) transcription factors promote expression of SOX9, which induces chondrogenic commitment and suppresses fatty acid oxidation (PubMed:32103177). Mechanistically, helps, but is not required, to remove epigenetic signatures of transcriptional repression and deposit active promoter and enhancer marks at chondrocyte-specific genes (PubMed:30021842). Acts in cooperation with the Hedgehog pathway-dependent GLI (GLI1 and GLI3) transcription factors (PubMed:29659575). In addition to cartilage development, also acts as a regulator of proliferation and differentiation in epithelial stem/progenitor cells: involved in the lung epithelium during branching morphogenesis, by balancing proliferation and differentiation and regulating the extracellular matrix (PubMed:24191021). Controls epithelial branching during kidney development (PubMed:21212101). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10319868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10805756, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11371614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12414734, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15132997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15529345, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15694126, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525254, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18415932, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20940257, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21212101, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367821, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22421045, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24191021, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26146088, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26150426, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26910618, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28263186, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29659575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30021842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31121357, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32103177, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9119111}.
