       Transcriptional Phenomenon 1

Repression of SLC38A4 gene in severe placental abnormalities condition [1]

TF Protein Name

Transcription factor AP-2 gamma Transcription Factor Info

Studied Phenotype

Severe placental abnormalities [ICD11: JA8A.1]

Tissue

Placenta

Related DT Changes

Down regulating

Experimental Material

129-SV Tpbpa-Cre transgenic mice

Detailed Description

Transcription factor AP-2 gamma (TFAP2C) has been reported to repress the transcription of SLC38A4 gene in severe placental abnormalities condition, which leads to a decreased expression of the drug transporter Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4.

Tissue

Embryo

Related DT Changes

Down regulating

Experimental Material

Mouse teratocarcinoma cells (F9)

Detailed Description

Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) has been reported to repress the transcription of SLC38A4 gene in teratocarcinoma condition, which leads to a decreased expression of the drug transporter Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4.

      Class 2.3: C2H2 zinc finger factors

       Transcriptional Phenomenon 1

Direct binding to SLC38A4 gene [3]

TF Protein Name

Myc-associated zinc finger protein Transcription Factor Info

Tissue

Blood; Bone marrow; Lung

Related DT Changes

Direct regulating

Experiment method

TF-transporter regulations were collected from ChIP-Seq datasets.

Detailed Description

Myc-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) can directly bind to the SLC38A4 gene, which in turn affects the expression or function of the drug transporter Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4.

Tissue

Brain

Related DT Changes

Down regulating

Experimental Material

C57BL/6J mice

Detailed Description

Paternally-expressed gene 3 protein (PEG3) has been reported to repress the transcription of SLC38A4 gene in health condition, which leads to a decreased expression of the drug transporter Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4.
