Gene information for BACH1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID571
Official gene symbolBACH1
Full nameBTB and CNC homology 1, basic leucine zipper transcription factor 1
Aliases,BACH-1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the cap'n'collar type of basic region leucine zipper factor family (CNC-bZip). The encoded protein contains broad complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger (BTB/POZ) domains, which is atypical of CNC-bZip family members. These BTB/POZ domains facilitate protein-protein interactions and formation of homo- and/or hetero-oligomers. When this encoded protein forms a heterodimer with MafK, it functions as a repressor of Maf recognition element (MARE) and transcription is repressed. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
