Target data

Function

Transcription factor that plays a role in early brain development. May activate transcription by interacting directly with the X-box. May activate transcription from CX3CL1 promoter through the X-box during brain development. May be required for neural tube ciliogenesis during embryogenesis (By similarity).

Activity summary

RFX4 also known as Regulatory Factor X4 is a transcription factor that plays an important role in gene regulation. The protein has a mass of approximately 74 kDa and is expressed in the brain particularly within the central nervous system. It binds to X-box motifs influencing the transcription of various genes by forming complexes with other regulatory proteins. RFX4 is a member of the RFX transcription factor family which is characterized by a highly conserved DNA-binding domain.

Biological function summary

In the context of genetic regulation RFX4 modulates gene expression playing a role in CNS development. It is part of a transcription complex that works together with CREB binding protein and other transcriptional regulators to influence gene expression patterns. Its activity impacts cellular function by controlling genes essential for neural differentiation and development. Studies show that RFX4 is involved in the development of certain brain structures during embryonic growth.

Pathways

RFX4 contributes significantly to developmental pathways such as the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway. It interacts with other proteins including GLI transcription factors to contribute to the regulation of target gene expression. RFX4 also participates in the Notch signaling pathway where it associates with other components to influence cell fate decisions during neural development. These interactions establish its role in orchestrating precise molecular processes critical for cellular differentiation and development.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in RFX4 have been linked to neurological conditions such as hydrocephalus and holoprosencephaly. These disorders often stem from defects in brain development where proper functioning of RFX4 and its interaction with proteins like SHH and CREB binding protein are impaired. Research suggests that abnormal RFX4 activity can disrupt standard pathways contributing to the pathogenesis of these diseases by influencing neural cell development and differentiation.
