Transcription factor E2F3 (E2F3)

Transcription activator that binds DNA cooperatively with DP proteins through the E2 recognition site, 5'-TTTC[CG]CGC- 3' found in the promoter region of a variety of genes whose products are involved in cell cycle regulation or in DNA replication. The DRTF1/E2F complex functions in the control of cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase.

E2F3 binds specifically to RB1 in a cell-cycle dependent way. Inhibits adipogenesis, likely through the repression of CEBPA binding to its target gene promoters (By similarity).
