Entrez ID 22797
Gene name Transcription factor EC
Gene symbol TFEC
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
TCFECTFE-CTFEC-LTFECLbHLHe34hTFEC-L
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7q31.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the micropthalmia (MiT) family of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors. MiT transcription factors regulate the expression of target genes by binding to E-box recognition sequences as homo- or heterodime
