    basic FUNCTION
  • repressor of myogenic helix-loop-helix class transcription factors
  • involved in the patterning of somites
  • functions as a molecular switch to suppress the store dependence of TRPC1
  • MDFI and MDFIC interact with SERTA domain proteins SERTAD1, SERTAD2, SERTAD3, SERTAD4) and negatively regulate their transcriptional activity
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    small molecule
    protein
  • physical and functional interaction with Zic proteins can play a role in the vertebrate development
  • physically interacts with TRPC1 (interaction is mediated by the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of TRPC1 and the C-terminal cysteine-rich domain of MDFI)
  • interacting with TCF3 (inhibition of TCF3 binding)
  • specifically interact with SERTAD1 through its C-terminal I-mfa domain
  • also specifically interacts with other SERTA domain-containing proteins, including SERTAD3 and SERTAD4, through its I-mfa domain
