Function

Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. Acts as a repressor in the absence of CTNNB1, and as activator in its presence. Activates transcription from promoters with several copies of the Tcf motif 5'-CCTTTGATC-3' in the presence of CTNNB1. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by TCF7L2/TCF4 and CTNNB1. Expression of dominant-negative mutants results in cell-cycle arrest in G1. Necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial stem-cell compartment of the small intestine.

Activity summary

TCF-4 also known as TCF7L2 is a transcription factor that plays an important mechanical role in the Wnt signaling pathway. It is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 66 kDa and is expressed in many tissues including the intestine pancreas and brain. TCF-4 acts by binding to DNA at specific sites and regulating the transcription of target genes. This transcription regulation occurs when TCF-4 partners with beta-catenin altering gene expression in response to Wnt signals.

Biological function summary

TCF-4 influences processes like cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. It functions as part of a transcriptional complex with members such as beta-catenin and other cofactors which are essential for its regulatory activities. Through its control of gene expression TCF-4 affects tissue homeostasis and has implications in embryonic development. It modulates the expression of genes that are involved in important cellular processes making it a significant player in maintaining cellular equilibrium.

Pathways

TCF-4 is essential in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway a critical pathway that regulates cell fate and patterning during development. This pathway involves the accumulation of beta-catenin in the cytoplasm and its subsequent translocation into the nucleus. In the nucleus beta-catenin partners with TCF-4 to regulate gene transcription. Additionally TCF-4 interacts with other pathway proteins such as LEF1 (Lymphoid Enhancer-Binding Factor 1) to modulate Wnt target genes illustrating its integration within complex signaling networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

TCF-4 has strong connections to type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. Variations in the TCF7L2 gene have been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes potentially due to its role in glucose metabolism. In colorectal cancer aberrant activation of the Wnt signaling pathway often involving TCF-4 and beta-catenin leads to uncontrolled cell growth. Understanding these connections can provide insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases and inform treatment strategies targeting TCF-4 and its associated pathways.
