FAMILY

teashirt C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

CATEGORY

regulatory , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	involved in regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
	required for proximal ureteric smooth muscle cell differentiation downstream of SHH and BMP4
	potentially controls the development of diverse components of the circuitry required for breathing
	TSHZ3 and SMARCE1 cooperate to modulate MYOD activity on the MYOG promoter to regulate skeletal muscle differentiation

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

binding

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Zn2+

protein	direct interaction of APBB1 and TSHZ3 with the promoter region of CASP4
	SMARCE1, a subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, is a partner of TSHZ3
