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.

General info
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.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the TCF/LEF family.
Post-translational modifications
In vitro, phosphorylated by TNIK.. Phosphorylated at Thr-201 and/or Thr-212 by NLK. Phosphorylation by NLK at these sites inhibits DNA-binding by TCF7L2/TCF4, thereby preventing transcriptional activation of target genes of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.. Polysumoylated. Sumoylation is enhanced by PIAS family members and desumoylation is enhanced by SENP2. Sumoylation/desumoylation regulates TCF7L2/TCF4 transcription activity in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway without altering interaction with CTNNB1 nor binding to DNA.
