Gene information for TFAP4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7023
Official gene symbolTFAP4
Full nametranscription factor AP-4 (activating enhancer binding protein 4)
Aliases,AP-4,bHLHc41,
Gene summaryTranscription 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]
