basic Helix-Loop-Helix-zipper (bHLHzip) domain found in transcription factor AP-4 (TFAP4) and similar proteins
TFAP4, also termed activating enhancer-binding protein 4, or Class C basic helix-loop-helix protein 41 (bHLHc41), is a bHLHzip transcription factor that activates both viral and cellular genes involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation, stemness, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by binding to the symmetrical DNA sequence 5'-CAGCTG-3'.
