Description
Product Characteristics:
Transcription factors of the basic helix-loop-helix zipper (bHLH-ZIP) family contain a basic domain, used for DNA binding, and HLH and ZIP domains, both used for oligomerization. TFEB was isolated from a human B-cell cDNA library using a binding sequence from the adenovirus major late promoter. This transcription factor probably binds to the USF/MLTF site and probably recognizes E-box sequences in the heavy-chain immunoglobulin enhancer.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Synonyms: Alpha TFEB, AlphaTFEB, bHLHe35, T cell transcription factor EB, T-cell transcription factor EB, TCFEB, Transcription factor EB, TFEB_HUMAN.
Target Information: Transcription factor that specifically recognizes and binds E-box sequences (3'-CANNTG-5'). Efficient DNA-binding requires dimerization with itself or with another MiT/TFE family member such as TFE3 or MITF. In association with TFE3, activates the expression of CD40L in T-cells, thereby playing a role in T- cell-dependent antibody responses in activated CD4(+) T-cells and thymus-dependent humoral immunity. Specifically recognizes and binds the CLEAR-box sequence (5'-GTCACGTGAC-3') present in the regulatory region of many lysosomal genes, leading to activate their expression. It thereby plays a central role in expression of lysosomal genes. Specifically recognizes the gamma-E3 box, a subset of E-boxes, present in the heavy-chain immunoglobulin enhancer. Plays a role in the signal transduction processes required for normal vascularization of the placenta
