Gene:
upstream transcription factor 2, c-fos interacting
Gene ID:
194614
Symbol:
USF2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family, and can function as a cellular transcription factor. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
