Family members share a highly-conserved N-terminal helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain and a less conserved C-terminal protein-binding domain. The encoded protein may be a transcriptional activator. Mutations in this gene can cause van der Woude syndrome and popliteal pterygium syndrome. Mutations in this gene are also associated with non-syndromic orofacial cleft type 6. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: Probable DNA-binding transcriptional activator. Key determinant of the keratinocyte proliferation-differentiation switch involved in appropriate epidermal development (By similarity). Plays a role in regulating mammary epithelial cell proliferation (By similarity). May regulate WDR65 transcription (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |IRF| |IRF-3| |keratinocyte proliferation| |mammary gland epithelial cell differentiation| |mammary gland epithelium development| |cellular response to type I interferon| |type I interferon signaling pathway| |response to type I interferon| |interferon-gamma-mediated signaling pathway| |epithelial cell proliferation| |roof of mouth development| |mammary gland development| |cell cycle arrest| |cellular response to interferon-gamma| |response to interferon-gamma| |transcription regulatory region DNA binding| |keratinocyte differentiation| |epidermal cell differentiation| |skin development| |gland development| |epidermis development| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |cell junction| |cell population proliferation| |negative regulation of cell cycle| |cytokine-mediated signaling pathway| |negative regulation of cell population proliferation| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |epithelial cell differentiation| |innate immune response| |defense response to other organism| |cell cycle process| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |response to cytokine| |epithelium development| |regulation of cell cycle| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |cell cycle| |DNA binding| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |cell development| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |tissue development| |immune response| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
