Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 450 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Transcription factor for the thyroid-specific expression of the genes exclusively expressed in the thyroid cell type, maintaining the functional differentiation of such cells. |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with WWTR1. Ref.8 |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in the excretory system, thyroid gland and Wilms tumors. |
| Developmental stage | In developing excretory system, during thyroid differentiation and in adult thyroid. |
| Involvement in disease | Hypothyroidism, congenital, non-goitrous, 2 (CHNG2) [MIM:218700]: A disease characterized by thyroid dysgenesis, the most frequent cause of congenital hypothyroidism, accounting for 85% of case. The thyroid gland can be completely absent (athyreosis), ectopically located and/or severely hypoplastic. Ectopic thyroid gland is the most frequent malformation, with thyroid tissue being found most often at the base of the tongue. |
| Sequence similarities | Contains 1 paired domain. |
