TSC22D1

TSC22 domain family protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TSC22D1 gene.[1][2]

TSC22 encodes a transcription factor and belongs to the large family of early response genes.[3]

TSC22D1 forms homodimers via its conserved leucine zipper domain and heterodimerizes with TSC22D4. TSC22D1 has transcriptional repressor activity.[4]
