Background
This gene encodes a transcription factor that binds the alpha-globin promoter and activates transcription of the alpha-globin gene. The encoded protein regulates erythroid gene expression, plays a role in the transcriptional switch of globin gene promoters, and it activates many other cellular and viral gene promoters. The gene product interacts with certain inflammatory response factors, and polymorphisms of this gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],
Function
developmental stage:Expressed in fetal erythroid tissue.,function:Binds a variety of cellular and viral promoters including fibrinogen, alpha-globin, SV40 and HIV-1 promoters. Activation of the alpha-globin promoter in erythroid cells is via synergistic interaction with UBP1 (By similarity). Functions as part of the SSP (stage selector protein) complex. Facilitates the interaction of the gamma-globin genes with enhancer elements contained in the locus control region in fetal erythroid cells. Interacts by binding to the stage selector element (SSE) in the proximal gamma-globin promoter.,miscellaneous:In PubMed:8114710 authors noted that a 10-fold molar excess of isoform 2 over isoform 1 inhibited DNA-binding.,similarity:Belongs to the grh/CP2 family. CP2 subfamily.,subunit:Binds to DNA as a dimer, isoform 2 does not bind to DNA or affect the binding of isoform 1 to DNA. Interacts with UBP
