Functionalternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist,function:Transcription factor that binds to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') that is found in a variety of viral and cellular promoters.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,subunit:Interacts with MAF (By similarity). Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Binds DNA as an homodimer or a heterodimer (USF1/USF2). In vivo, the USF1/USF2A heterodimer represents over 66% of the usf binding activity whereas the USF1 and USF2A homodimers represent less than 10%. The USF1/USF2B heterodimer accounted for almost 15% in some cell.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous.,
Subcellular LocationNucleus.
ExpressionUbiquitous.
Backgroundupstream transcription factor 2, c-fos interacting(USF2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family of transcription factors. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs and is involved in regulating multiple cellular processes.
