HBP1

protein-coding

HMG-box transcription factor 1

Gene summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of lipid transport; negative regulation of reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nuclear speck. Biomarker of osteoarthritis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_012257.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor that binds to the promoter region of target genes. Plays a role in the regulation of the cell cycle and of the Wnt pathway. Binds preferentially to the sequence 5'-TTCATTCATTCA-3'. Binding to the H1F0 promoter is enhanced by interaction with RB1. Disrupts the interaction between DNA and TCF4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10562551, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10958660, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11500377}.;
