Gene: [02q31/SP3] Sp3 transcription factor;


COM

By PCR analysis of human-rodent hybrid cell line DNAs and fluorescence in situ hybridization the Sp3 gene was mapped to 2q31 (Kalff-Suske-1996). The Kalff-Suske et al. noted the striking colocalization of each of the Sp factors with the homeo box gene clusters HOX A (FAM:HOXA/07p1), HOX C (FAM:HOXC/12q1), and HOX D (FAM:HOXD/02q31) on the corresponding chromosomes."

FUN

The Sp3 represses Sp1-mediated transcriptional activation, suggesting that Sp3 is an inhibitory member of the Sp gene family (Hagen-1994). See also GEM:12q131/SP1."
