|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | TFAP2A |
| Gene Full Name | transcription factor AP-2 alpha (activating enhancer binding protein 2 alpha) |
| Background | The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that binds the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3'. The encoded protein functions as either a homodimer or as a heterodimer with similar family members. This protein activates the transcription of some genes while inhibiting the transcription of others. Defects in this gene are a cause of branchiooculofacial syndrome (BOFS). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009] |
| Function | Enhances the phosphorylation and activation of AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3. Promotes nuclear translocation of AKT1. Enhances cell proliferation, stabilizes mitochondrial membrane potential and promotes cell survival. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 48 kDa |
| PTM | Sumoylated on Lys-10; which inhibits transcriptional activity. [UniProt] |
