Activity summary

CP2c also known as LSF or TFCP2 functions as a transcription factor involved in the regulation of gene expression. CP2c has a mass of approximately 37 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with higher levels observed in the liver brain and lymphoid tissues. This protein is critical in influencing the expression of genes through direct binding to specific DNA sequences thereby altering transcriptional activities.

Biological function summary

CP2c serves as an important component in transcriptional regulation networks. It often functions as a part of multi-protein complexes interacting with co-activators or co-repressors to modulate target gene expression. CP2c plays significant roles in cell cycle control growth and differentiation by regulating genes involved in these biological processes.

Pathways

CP2c integrates into key regulatory networks impacting several important pathways such as cell cycle and nucleotide metabolism. In the context of the cell cycle CP2c interacts with proteins such as p53 and Rb which are essential in controlling cell division and DNA repair processes. These interactions help maintain normal cellular function and prevent unchecked cell proliferation.

Associated diseases and disorders

CP2c links to conditions like cancer and viral infections. Its regulation of genes involved in cell proliferation is important in oncogenesis where dysregulated CP2c activity may contribute to tumor progression. In viral infections CP2c modulates the host cellular environment affecting how viruses replicate within host cells. Aberrant interactions with proteins like p53 reinforce the connection between CP2c and the development of cancer emphasizing the importance of this protein as a target for therapeutic intervention.
