Also known as AR1SPBP
Summary
TCF20 (transcription factor 20, HGNC:11631) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q13.2, encoding Transcription factor 20 (Q9UGU0). Transcriptional activator that binds to the regulatory region of MMP3 and thereby controls stromelysin expression. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a transcription factor that recognizes the platelet-derived growth factor-responsive element in the matrix metalloproteinase 3 promoter. The encoded protein is thought to be a transcriptional coactivator, enhancing the activity of transcription factors such as JUN and SP1. Mutations in this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Transcriptional activator that binds to the regulatory region of MMP3 and thereby controls stromelysin expression. It stimulates the activity of various transcriptional activators such as JUN, SP1, PAX6 and ETS1, suggesting a function as a coactivator.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with RNF4 and JUN.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in most tissues, except in ovary and prostate. Isoform 1 is exclusively expressed in brain, heart and testis, and this form predominates in liver and kidney. Isoform 2 predominates in lung.
Disease relevance. Developmental delay with variable intellectual impairment and behavioral abnormalities (DDVIBA) [MIM:618430] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by impaired intellectual development with speech difficulties, dysmorphic features, and behavioral abnormalities including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity. Additional variable features may include hypotonia, somatic overgrowth, macrocephaly, mild distal skeletal anomalies, sleep disturbances, movement disorders, and gastrointestinal issues, such as constipation. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The atypical PHD domain functions as a negative modulator of cofactor binding.
