Homeobox protein TGIF1, 5'-TG-3'-interacting factor 1, TGIF1, TGIF
Product description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
three-amino acid loop extension (TALE) superclass of atypical
homeodomains. TALE homeobox proteins are highly conserved
transcription regulators. This particular homeodomain binds to a
previously characterized retinoid X receptor responsive element
from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter. In addition
to its role in inhibiting 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha
transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element,
the protein is an active transcriptional co-repressor of SMAD2 and
may participate in the transmission of nuclear signals during
development and in the adult. Mutations in this gene are associated
with holoprosencephaly type 4, which is a structural anomaly of the
brain. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and
eight variants, encoding four distinct isoforms, are described.1) Bengoechea-Alonso, M.T., et al. Oncogene 29(38):5322-5328(2010)
