It weighs approximately 52 kDa. TFAP2A is known for its role in binding specific DNA sequences to regulate target gene transcription. It expresses highly in neural crest-derived tissues as well as in the placenta breast and skin. This transcription factor plays an essential role in embryonic development cell proliferation and differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTFAP2A contributes significantly to the regulation of gene expression involved in essential developmental and cellular processes. It acts as part of a complex with other transcription factors allowing it to coordinate the expression of a variety of genes linked to cell growth and apoptosis. AP-2 also regulates genes involved in neural development and skin morphogenesis. Its interaction with other factors such as AP-2γ and AP-2β enhances its functionality indicating a complex mechanism of action.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTFAP2A engages in critical signalling circuits such as the MAPK and Wnt pathways which are essential for cell cycle regulation and embryonic development. Within these pathways related proteins like AP-2γ and AP-594 interact with TFAP2A further illustrating its role in signal transduction. These relationships highlight the importance of TFAP2A in orchestrating cellular responses to growth signals and environmental cues.\u003cbr\u003e\nTFAP2A has links to a range of pathological conditions including cancer and neural crest-related disorders. In melanoma for example TFAP2A's regulatory role affects genes associated with tumor growth and metastasis. The protein's interaction with other transcription factors like AP-647 may influence cancer progression and therapy response. Additionally the dysregulation of TFAP2A affects neural crest development potentially leading to congenital disorders. Understanding these interactions assists in unraveling the molecular basis of such diseases and informs therapeutic strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852557799593,"sku":"ab305404","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab305404","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
