NCBI Gene Info:This gene product is a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family of transcription factors, which contain the TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. It is predominantly expressed in the placenta and thought to play a role in placental gene regulation and development. Alternative splicing, and alternate use of an upstream AUG translation initiation codon, and an in-frame downstream non-AUG (AUA) codon, results in 2 isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
