Zhang and Chellappan (1995) cloned an E2F dimerization partner, transcription factor DP2, from a human kidney cDNA library. The TFDP2 gene encodes a predicted 386-amino acid protein that is 68% identical to TFDP1 (189902). Northern blot analysis revealed 5 distinct transcript sizes ranging from 1.4 to 9.5 kb, with expression of at least one size observed in all cell lines tested.
Zhang and Chellappan (1995) showed that TFDP2 is able to form a functional heterodimer with E2F1 (189971).
By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Zhang et al. (1997) mapped the TFDP2 gene to chromosome 3q23.
