FAMILY
  • transcription factor AP-2 family
    • CATEGORY transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • transcription factor activity
  • functional role in recruiting histone methyltransferases (HMTs) to specific gene targets, such as HOXC8
  • is an important transcription factor, specifying gene expression patterns required for the development of the posterior midbrain
  • is a transcription factor important for modulating gene expression in embryogenesis
  • TFAP2D protein overexpression is linked to prostate cancer progression and genomic instability in ERG negative prostate cancers
