Entrez Gene summary for CTCF:
This gene is a member of the BORIS + CTCF gene family and encodes a transcriptional regulator protein with 11 highly
conserved zinc finger (ZF) domains. This nuclear protein is able to use different combinations of the ZF domains to
bind different DNA target sequences and proteins. Depending upon the context of the site, the protein can bind a
histone acetyltransferase (HAT)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional activator or bind a histone
deacetylase (HDAC)-containing complex and function as a transcriptional repressor. If the protein is bound to a
transcriptional insulator element, it can block communication between enhancers and upstream promoters, thereby
regulating imprinted expression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with invasive breast cancers, prostate
cancers, and Wilms' tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for
this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CTCF_HUMAN, P49711
Function: Chromatin binding factor that binds to DNA sequence specific sites. Involved in transcriptional regulation by
binding to chromatin insulators and preventing interaction between promoter and nearby enhancers and silencers. Acts
as transcriptional repressor binding to promoters of vertebrate MYC gene and BAG1 gene. Also binds to the PLK and PIM1
promoters. Acts as a transcriptional activator of APP. Regulates APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster and controls MHC class II
gene expression. Plays an essential role in oocyte and preimplantation embryo development by activating or repressing
transcription. Seems to act as tumor suppressor. Plays a critical role in the epigenetic regulation. Participates in
the allele-specific gene expression at the imprinted IGF2/H19 gene locus. On the maternal allele, binding within the
H19 imprinting control region (ICR) mediates maternally inherited higher-order chromatin conformation to restrict
enhancer access to IGF2. Plays a critical role in gene silencing over considerable distances in the genome.
Preferentially interacts with unmethylated DNA, preventing spreading of CpG methylation and maintaining
methylation-free zones. Inversely, binding to target sites is prevented by CpG methylation. Plays a important role in
chromatin remodeling. Can dimerize when it is bound to different DNA sequences, mediating long-range chromatin
looping. Mediates interchromosomal association between IGF2/H19 and WSB1/NF1 and may direct distant DNA segments to a
common transcription factory. Causes local loss of histone acetylation and gain of histone methylation in the
beta-globin locus, without affecting transcription. When bound to chromatin, it provides an anchor point for
nucleosomes positioning. Seems to be essential for homologous X-chromosome pairing. May participate with Tsix in
establishing a regulatable epigenetic switch for X chromosome inactivation. May play a role in preventing the
propagation of stable methylation at the escape genes from X- inactivation. Involved in sister chromatid cohesion.
Associates with both centromeres and chromosomal arms during metaphase and required for cohesin localization to CTCF
sites. Regulates asynchronous replication of IGF2/H19
