EDF1 endothelial differentiation related factor 1

Gene ID: 8721, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MBF1; EDF-1; CFAP280

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may regulate endothelial cell differentiation, lipid metabolism, and hormone-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The encoded protein has also been found to act as a transcriptional coactivator by interconnecting the general transcription factor TATA element-binding protein (TBP) and gene-specific activators. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
