| Primary Identifier | IPR024098 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | TFEB |
| description | The MiT/TFE family of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors includes MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) and related family members TFE3, TFEB and TFEC []. The transcription factors heterodimerize with each other and recognise the same DNA sequences []. They recognise and bind E-box sequences (3'-CANNTG-5').In association with TFE3, TFEB activates the expression of CD40L in T-cells, thereby playing a role in T-cell-dependent antibody responses in activated CD4+ T-cells and thymus-dependent humoral immunity []. It also plays a role in the signal transduction processes required for normal vascularisation of the placenta []. |
