The protein encoded by this gene is a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor involved in the activation of several developmental genes. The encoded protein can act as either a homodimer or heterodimer with other family members and is induced during retinoic acid-mediated differentiation. It plays a role in the development of the eyes, face, body wall, limbs, and neural tube. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
TFAP2C (Transcription Factor AP-2 Gamma) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TFAP2C include Extragonadal Seminoma and Char Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Transcriptional regulation by the AP-2 (TFAP2) family of transcription factors and Metabolism of proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include DNA-binding transcription factor activity and proximal promoter DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. An important paralog of this gene is TFAP2A.
