Also known as CTFNF-ICTF5
Summary
NFIC (nuclear factor I C, HGNC:7786) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Nuclear factor 1 C-type (P08651). Recognizes and binds the palindromic sequence 5’-TTGGCNNNNNGCCAA-3’ present in viral and cellular promoters and in the origin of replication of adenovirus type 2.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CTF/NF-I family. These are dimeric DNA-binding proteins, and function as cellular transcription factors and as replication factors for adenovirus DNA replication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 109 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
