Gene: TCF20
Alternate names for this Gene: AR1|DDVIBA|SPBP|TCF-20
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a transcription factor that recognizes the platelet-derived growth factor-responsive element in the matrix metalloproteinase 3 promoter. The encoded protein is thought to be a transcriptional coactivator, enhancing the activity of transcription factors such as JUN and SP1. Mutations in this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 22
Location in Chromosome : 22q13.2|22q13.3
Description of this Gene: transcription factor 20
Type of Gene: protein-coding
