TFAP4

Transcription factor AP-4 (activating enhancer binding protein 4), also known as TFAP4, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the TFAP4 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Transcription factor AP4 is a member of the is_associated_with::basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) is_associated_with::transcription factors, which bind to the E-box sequence in the promoters of their target genes. AP-4 has been shown to act both as a repressor and an activator for different target genes.
