TGIF2 Gene

TGFB-induced factor homeobox 2

The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding homeobox protein and a transcriptional repressor, which appears to repress transcription by recruiting histone deacetylases to TGF beta-responsive genes. This gene is amplified and over-expressed in some ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 1. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring downstream C20orf24 (chromosome 20 open reading frame 24) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

TGIF2-C20ORF24 Gene

TGIF2-C20orf24 readthrough

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring TGIF2 (TGFB-induced factor homeobox 2) and C20orf24 (chromosome 20 open reading frame 24) genes. The read-through transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

TGIF2-RAB5IF Gene

TGIF2-RAB5IF readthrough

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring TGIF2 (TGFB-induced factor homeobox 2) and C20orf24 (chromosome 20 open reading frame 24) genes. The read-through transcript encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
