STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE B/HLH/Z DOMAIN OF USF
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 8306960
Disease
[USF1_HUMAN] Genetic variations in USF1 are associated with hyperlipidemia combined type 1 (HYPLIP1) [MIM:602491]; also known as familial combined hyperlipidemia type 1 (FCHL1). HYPLIP1 is characterized by elevated levels of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides or both, and is observed in about 20% of individuals with premature coronary heart disease.[1]
Function
[USF1_HUMAN] Transcription factor that binds to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') that is found in a variety of viral and cellular promoters.
