About TFEC

Cytogenetic location: 7q31.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:115,935,152-116,159,896 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 6.5), appendix (RPKM 6.1) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the micropthalmia (MiT) family of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors. MiT transcription factors regulate the expression of target genes by binding to E-box recognition sequences as homo- or heterodimers, and play roles in multiple cellular processes including survival, growth and differentiation. The encoded protein is a transcriptional activator of the nonmuscle Myosin II heavy chain-A gene, and may also co-regulate target genes in osteoclasts as a heterodimer with micropthalmia-associated transcription factor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
