Tfap2a - transcription factor AP-2 alpha Gene

Also Known as Tcfap2a

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 306862

Summary

Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Schwann cell development; response to lipopolysaccharide; and response to water deprivation. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiooculofacial syndrome. Orthologous to human TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha).
