motifs/domains
  • helix-turn-helix and paired DNA binding domains
    • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to Xenopus goosecoid homeo domain gene-like
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • paired homeobox family
  • bicoid subfamily
    • CATEGORY transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    text restricted to the interpeduncular nucleus (IP) in the ventral region of the midbrain–hindbrain transition
    basic FUNCTION
  • putative playing a role in learning or psychiatric disorders
  • paralogue of goosecoid and a homeobox transcription factor that recognizes a specific DNA sequence and interacts with ring finger protein 4
  • transcription factor with suppressive activity, expressed during early brain and gonad development
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

  • GSC2/RNF4 interactions (in addition to acting as a modulator of transcriptional activity, RNF4 may function, as do other RING proteins, to promote the formation of intracytoplasmic complexes involved in shuttling information between the cytoplasm and the nucleus)

    loss of GSC2 and DGCR14 affects the regulation of hippocampal theta and rapid eye movement sleep, possibly contributing to the psychiatric symptoms frequently seen in patients who have 22q11 syndrome
