Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 467 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Probable DNA-binding transcriptional activator. Key determinant of the keratinocyte proliferation-differentiation switch involved in appropriate epidermal development By similarity. Plays a role in regulating mammary epithelial cell proliferation By similarity. May regulate WDR65 transcription By similarity. |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with SERPINB5. Ref.7 |
| Subcellular location | Nucleus Potential. Cytoplasm. Note: Translocates to nucleus in response to an activating signal By similarity. Ref.7 Ref.8 |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in normal mammary epithelial cells. Expression is reduced or absent in breast carcinomas. Ref.7 |
| Post-translational modification | Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation status depends on the cell cycle and is a signal for ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation. Ref.7 Ref.8 |
| Involvement in disease | Van der Woude syndrome 1 (VWS1) [MIM:119300]: An autosomal dominant developmental disorder characterized by lower lip pits, cleft lip and/or cleft palate. Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) [MIM:119500]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by oro-facial, skin and genital anomalies. Expressivity is variable. Clinical features include cleft lip/palate, lower lip cysts, syngnathia, congenital ankyloblepharon filiforme in some cases, bifid scrotum, hypoplastic scrotum, hypoplastic uterus, talipes equinovarus. Non-syndromic orofacial cleft 6 (OFC6) [MIM:608864]: A birth defect consisting of cleft lips with or without cleft palate. Cleft lips are associated with cleft palate in two-third of cases. A cleft lip can occur on one or both sides and range in severity from a simple notch in the upper lip to a complete opening in the lip extending into the floor of the nostril and involving the upper gum. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the IRF family. Contains 1 IRF tryptophan pentad repeat DNA-binding domain. |
