Transcription factor AP-2-delta (TFAP2D)

Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development.

They also suppress several genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC (By similarity). .
