TCF20 transcription factor 20

Gene ID: 6942, updated on 24-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AR1; SPBP; DDVIBA; TCF-20

Summary

This gene encodes a transcription factor that recognizes the platelet-derived growth factor-responsive element in the matrix metalloproteinase 3 promoter. The encoded protein is thought to be a transcriptional coactivator, enhancing the activity of transcription factors such as JUN and SP1. Mutations in this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
