Background
This gene encodes a member of the TSC22 domain family of leucine zipper transcription factors. The encoded protein is stimulated by transforming growth factor beta, and regulates the transcription of multiple genes including C-type natriuretic peptide. The encoded protein may play a critical role in tumor suppression through the induction of cancer cell apoptosis, and a single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been associated with diabetic nephropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011],function:Transcriptional repressor. Acts on the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) promoter.,induction:In aortic endothelial cells, induced by cytokines, including TGFB.,similarity:Belongs to the TSC-22/Dip/Bun family.,subunit:Homodimer or heterodimer. Can form an heterodimer with TSC22D4.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed in fetal and adult tissues.,
