Summary | This gene encodes a transcription factor which is a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family. Members of this family are characterized by a TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. This factor, which is highly expressed in muscle, binds to a promoter element called M-CAT, a motif found in promoters of muscle specific genes. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms, which are encoded through the use of a non-AUG (UUG) translation initiation codon, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |
