GCM1 glial cells missing transcription factor 1

Gene ID: 8521, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GCMA; hGCMa

Summary

This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein with a gcm-motif (glial cell missing motif). The encoded protein is a homolog of the Drosophila glial cells missing gene (gcm). This protein binds to the GCM-motif (A/G)CCCGCAT, a novel sequence among known targets of DNA-binding proteins. The N-terminal DNA-binding domain confers the unique DNA-binding activity of this protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
