Gene:
TEA domain family member 3
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family. The family members contain the TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. This member is preferentially expressed in placenta and transactivates the chorionic somatomammotropin gene enhancer. The protein is encoded through the use of a non-AUG (ATA) translation initiation codon.
