b1-binding factor, hepatocyte transcription factor which activates enhancer II of hepatitis B virus
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including nuclear receptor activity; transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity; and transcription coregulator binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of viral genome replication. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of colon cancer.
RGD Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding zinc finger transcription factor and is a member of the fushi tarazu factor-1 subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors. The encoded protein is involved in the expression of genes for hepatitis B virus and cholesterol biosynthesis, and may be an important regulator of embryonic development.
