Description
Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and sprouting angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within lymphangiogenesis; motor neuron axon guidance; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including axis; caudal vein plexus; eye; liver; and proliferative region. Orthologous to human E2F8 (E2F transcription factor 8).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Atypical E2F transcription factor that participates in various processes such as angiogenesis and polyploidization of specialized cells. Mainly acts as a transcription repressor that binds DNA independently of DP proteins and specifically recognizes the E2 recognition site 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC-3'. Directly represses transcription of classical E2F transcription factors such as e2f1. Acts as a regulator of S-phase by recognizing and binding the E2-related site 5'-TTCCCGCC-3' and mediating repression of G1/S-regulated genes (By similarity). Acts as a promoter of sprouting angiogenesis, possibly by acting as a transcription activator and promoting expression of vegfa.
