Full name: trans-acting transcription factor 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: D130027J01Rik

Summary: This gene product belongs to a family of Sp1 related transcription factors, which regulate transcription by binding to consensus GC- and GT-box regulatory elements in target genes. This protein contains a zinc finger DNA-binding domain and several transactivation domains, and has been reported to function as a bifunctional transcription factor that either stimulates or represses transcription of numerous genes. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, and one variant initiates translation from a non-AUG (AUA) codon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
