Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. AP-2-beta appears to be required for normal face and limb development and for proper terminal differentiation and function of renal tubular epithelia. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11694877}.
Subcellular Localization Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
Disease Associations Char syndrome (CHAR) [MIM:169100]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), facial dysmorphism and hand anomalies. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10802654, ECO:0000269PubMed:11505339}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
