UniProt Protein Function: | TCF9: Factor that represses transcription. It binds to the GC- rich sequences (5'-GCGGGGC-3') present in the epidermal growth factor receptor, beta-actin, and calcium-dependent protease promoters. Belongs to the GCF family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Nucleolus Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p12 Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; nucleolus; nucleus Biological Process: transcription, DNA-dependent; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; spliceosome assembly; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent |
NCBI Summary: | The first mRNA transcript isolated for this gene was part of an artificial chimera derived from two distinct gene transcripts and a primer used in the cloning process (see Genbank accession M29204). A positively charged amino terminus present only in the chimera was determined to bind GC-rich DNA, thus mistakenly thought to identify a transcription factor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
