Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; neural ectoderm; ovary; and vomeronasal organ. Orthologous to human TFAP2E (transcription factor AP-2 epsilon).

Transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 2epsilon (AP2epsilon) modulates phenotypic plasticity and progression of malignant melanoma.
Title: Transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 2ε (AP2ε) modulates phenotypic plasticity and progression of malignant melanoma.
work suggests that AP-2epsilon, which is expressed in late phases of differentiation, is not needed to initiate the apical-basal differentiation dichotomy but for maintaining the basal VSNs' identity. In AP-2epsilon mutants we observed a large number of cells that entered the basal program can express apical genes, our data suggest that differentiated VSNs of mice retain a notable level of plasticity.
Title: The transcription factor Tfap2e/AP-2ε plays a pivotal role in maintaining the identity of basal vomeronasal sensory neurons.
We reveal a novel role of AP-2epsilon in the regulation of gene expression in articular chondrocytes, as well as in osteoarthritis development, through modulation of Mmp13 expression and activity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
