NCIt synonyms : Transcription Factor For Immunoglobulin Heavy-Chain Enhancer 3; TFE3; Transcription Factor for IgH Enhancer; bHLHe33; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 33; Transcription Factor Binding to IGHM Enhancer 3; Transcription Factor-E3; Transcription Factor E Family, Member A;
NCIt definition : Transcription factor E3 (575 aa, 62 kDa) is encoded by the human TFE3 gene. This
protein plays a role in both immunity and transcriptional regulation.;
NCIt note : Transcription factor E3 recognizes and binds E-box sequences (3'-CANNTG-5') and binds
to the Ig heavy-chain enchancer MUE3 motif and to the USF/MLTF site. Efficient DNA
binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. (UniProt);
