Recombinant Human DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-4 (ID4)

Uniprot Id

P47928

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ID4

Target Full Name

DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-4

Target Function

Transcriptional regulator (lacking a basic DNA binding domain) which negatively regulates the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors by forming heterodimers and inhibiting their DNA binding and transcriptional activity. Implicated in regulating a variety of cellular processes, including cellular growth, senescence, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and neoplastic transformation.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Synonyms

bHLHb27; Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 27; DNA binding protein inhibitor ID 4; DNA binding protein inhibitor ID4; DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-4; ID 4; Id4; ID4_HUMAN; IDB4; Inhibitor of DNA binding 4; Inhibitor of DNA binding 4 dominant negative helix loop helix protein

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) protein family. The encoded protein lacks DNA binding ability, and instead regulates gene expression through binding to and inhibiting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. This protein has been implicated in the regulation of diverse cellular processes that play a role in development and tumorigenesis.
