Gene:
transcription factor 20 (AR1)
Gene ID:
207600
Symbol:
TCF20
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene binds a platelet-derived growth factor-responsive element in the matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin 1) promoter. The protein localizes to the nucleus and displays DNA-binding and transactivation activities. It is thought to be a transcriptional coactivator, enhancing the activity of transcription factors such as JUN and SP1. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
