Tfdp1 - transcription factor Dp 1

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of fat cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within anoikis; epidermis development; and regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to several human genes including TFDP1 (transcription factor Dp-1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
