Function

Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. Involved in the MTA1-mediated epigenetic regulation of ESR1 expression in breast cancer.

Activity summary

AP2 gamma also known as TFAP2C functions as a transcription factor and belongs to the AP-2 family. AP2 gamma has a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. It regulates gene expression by binding to DNA sequence-specific sites influencing diverse cellular processes. This protein commonly expresses in tissues like mammary glands and is important in embryonic development. TFAP2C plays a role in differentiation and development across different cell types.

Biological function summary

AP2 gamma acts as a significant regulator of gene networks that control cell growth and differentiation. This protein contributes to transcriptional activation and repression often functioning within multiprotein complexes. It regulates the expression of genes involved in epithelial cell differentiation and morphogenesis. Importantly TFAP2C helps in the development of ectodermal tissues supporting cellular behaviors necessary for proper tissue formation.

Pathways

TFAP2C is involved in pathways that include developmental processes and differentiation. In particular it takes part in the Wnt signaling pathway influencing gene expression patterns that govern development. AP2 gamma interacts with proteins such as beta-catenin within the Wnt pathway modulating cell fate and proliferation. Another important pathway is the estrogen receptor signaling pathway where TFAP2C partners with proteins like ERα to regulate hormone-responsive genes.

Associated diseases and disorders

AP2 gamma has links to breast cancer and neural tube defects. In breast cancer TFAP2C modulates genes associated with cancer progression and treatment response interacting with proteins like HER2. Mutations or dysregulation of TFAP2C can also lead to developmental anomalies like neural tube defects possibly due to altered gene expression during embryonic development. Understanding these connections provides insight into therapeutic strategies and developmental biology.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-AP2 gamma/TFAP2C antibody [3B5] (ab110635)

    Immunohistochemistry was performed on cancer biopsies of deparaffinized Human breast carcinoma tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1:50 with ab110635 or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.
