Description
Product Characteristics: CITED4 (CREB-binding protein/p300-interacting transactivator with E/D-rich tail 4) belongs to CITED family and all members of this family share CITED domain that can interact with CBP and p300. These proteins are transcriptional co-activators which can increase gene transcription through binding transcription factors with RNA polymerase II or via their acetyltransferase activity. CITED4 behaves as transcriptional coactivator for TFAP2/AP-2 and enhances estrogen receptors mediated transactivation.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this intronless gene belongs to the CITED family of transcriptional coactivators that bind to several proteins, including CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300, via a conserved 32 aa C-terminal motif, and regulate gene transcription. This protein also interacts with transcription factor AP2 (TFAP2), and thus may function as a co-activator for TFAP2. Hypermethylation and transcriptional downregulation of this gene has been observed in oligodendroglial tumors with deletions of chromosomal arms 1p and 19q, and associated with longer recurrence-free and overall survival of patients with oligodendroglial tumors.
