Gene:
AT rich interactive domain 5B (MRF1-like)
Gene ID:
206430
Symbol:
ARID5B
Species:
1000
Description:
DNA-binding protein that binds to the 5'-AATA[CT]-3' core sequence. Probably acts as a transcription regulator. Represses the cytomegalovirus enhancer. Overexpression leads to induction of smooth muscle marker genes, suggesting that it may act as a regulator of smooth muscle cell differentiation and proliferation. May be involved in lipid stores.
