Deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor 1 homolog

UniProtKB accession:  Q9Z1T5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Transcription factor that binds to sequence with multiple copies of 5'-TTC[CG]G-3' present in its own promoter and that of the HNRPA2B1 gene. Down-regulates transcription of these genes. Binds to the retinoic acid response element (RARE) 5'-AGGGTTCACCGAAAGTTCA-3'. Activates the proenkephalin gene independently of promoter binding, probably through protein-protein interaction (By similarity). Regulates epithelial cell proliferation and side-branching in the mammary gland. Required for neural tube closure and skeletal patterning. Controls the expression of peripheral tissue antigens in pancreatic lymph nodes. Isoform 1 displays greater transcriptional activity than isoform 2. Isoform 2 may inhibit transcriptional activity of isoform 1 by interacting with it and retaining it in the cytoplasm. Transcriptional activator of EIF4G3 (By similarity). May also involved in behavior (PubMed:24726472).
