About TFAP4

Cytogenetic location: 16p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:4,257,186-4,273,023 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 250 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 4.0), spleen (RPKM 3.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Transcription factors of the basic helix-loop-helix-zipper (bHLH-ZIP) family contain a basic domain, which is used for DNA binding, and HLH and ZIP domains, which are used for oligomerization. Transcription factor AP4 activates both viral and cellular genes by binding to the symmetrical DNA sequence CAGCTG (Mermod et al., 1988 [PubMed 2833704]; Hu et al., 1990 [PubMed 2123466]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2009]
