GRHL3 grainyhead like transcription factor 3

Gene ID: 57822, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SOM; VWS2; TFCP2L4

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the grainyhead family of transcription factors. The encoded protein may function as a transcription factor during development, and has been shown to stimulate migration of endothelial cells. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
