TEAD4 TEA domain transcription factor 4

Gene ID: 7004, updated on 17-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TEF3; RTEF1; TEF-3; EFTR-2; TEFR-1; TCF13L1; hRTEF-1B

Summary

This gene product is a member of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family of transcription factors, which contain the TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain. It is preferentially expressed in the skeletal muscle, and binds to the M-CAT regulatory element found in promoters of muscle-specific genes to direct their gene expression. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms, some of which are translated through the use of a non-AUG (UUG) initiation codon, have been described for this gene.
