Full name: E2F transcription factor 8

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: E2F-8

Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of transcription factors which regulate the expression of genes required for progression through the cell cycle. The encoded protein regulates progression from G1 to S phase by ensuring the nucleus divides at the proper time. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Expression: Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 4.6), lymph node (RPKM 3.5) and 14 other tissues

Gene size: 17593bp

Exon count: 14
