Description
Aly/REF export factor, also known as THO complex subunit 4, THOC4 and Tho4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ALYREF gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a heat stable, nuclear protein and functions as a molecular chaperone. It is thought to regulate dimerization, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity of basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins
