HIVEP2
Function
This protein specifically binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GGGACTTTCC-3' which is found in the enhancer elements of numerous viral promoters such as those of SV40, CMV, or HIV1. In addition, related sequences are found in the enhancer elements of a number of cellular promoters, including those of the class I MHC, interleukin-2 receptor, somatostatin receptor II, and interferon-beta genes. It may act in T-cell activation.
Involvement in disease
Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 43
MRD43
A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRD43 patients manifest developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in brain and skeletal muscle.
