Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6p21.1. The encoded protein belongs to the MiT transcription factor family. TFEB is widely expressed and is characterized with a transactivation domain, basic-helix-loop-helix domain, glutamine rich region, leucine zipper region and proline rich region.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human TFEB
Biochem/physiol Actions
Transcription factor EB (TFEB) plays a key role in the regulation of autophagy and lysosome biogenesis. TFEB, expressed in endothelial cells, reduces inflammation and hinders atherosclerosis development. Thus, this protein can be considered as a potent therapeutic target for atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases.
