  ID: ITF2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcription factor 4; Short=TCF-4; AltName: Full=Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 19; Short=bHLHb19; AltName: Full=Immunoglobulin transcription factor 2; Short=ITF-2; AltName: Full=SL3-3 enhancer factor 2; Short=SEF-2;
FUNCTION: Transcription factor that binds to the immunoglobulin enchancer Mu-E5/KE5-motif. Involved in the initiation of neuronal differentiation. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Binds to the E-box present in the somatostatin receptor 2 initiator element (SSTR2-INR) to activate transcription (By similarity). Preferentially binds to either 5'-ACANNTGT-3' or 5'-CCANNTGG-3'.
SUBUNIT: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Forms homo- or heterooligomers with myogenin. Interacts with HIVEP2. Interacts with NEUROD2 (By similarity).
INTERACTION: P50553:ASCL1; NbExp=7; IntAct=EBI-533224, EBI-957042;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in adult heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle and to a lesser extent in the lung. In developing embryonic tissues, expression mostly occurs in the brain.
DOMAIN: the 9aaTAD motif is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors.
DISEASE: Defects in TCF4 are a cause of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) [MIM:610954]. PTHS is a rare syndromic encephalopathy characterized by severe psychomotor delay, epilepsy, daily bouts of diurnal hyperventilation starting in infancy, mild postnatal growth retardation, postnatal microcephaly, and distinctive facial features. Since most hitherto reported cases have been sporadic, with males and females equally affected, PTHS is regarded as an autosomal dominant condition.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAA60310.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Incomplete and probable erroneous sequence; Sequence=AAA60312.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Incomplete and probable erroneous sequence;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
