Function

FUNCTION: Acts as a sequence specific DNA binding transcriptional activator or repressor. The isoforms contain a varying set of transactivation and auto-regulating transactivation inhibiting domains thus showing an isoform specific activity. Isoform 2 activates RIPK4 transcription. May be required in conjunction with TP73/p73 for initiation of p53/TP53 dependent apoptosis in response to genotoxic insults and the presence of activated oncogenes. Involved in Notch signaling by probably inducing JAG1 and JAG2. Plays a role in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis. The ratio of DeltaN-type and TA*-type isoforms may govern the maintenance of epithelial stem cell compartments and regulate the initiation of epithelial stratification from the undifferentiated embryonal ectoderm. Required for limb formation from the apical ectodermal ridge. Activates transcription of the p21 promoter. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11641404, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12374749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446779, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446784, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20123734, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22197488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9774969}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Acro-dermato-ungual-lacrimal-tooth syndrome (ADULT syndrome) [MIM:103285]: A form of ectodermal dysplasia. Ectodermal dysplasia defines a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. ADULT syndrome involves ectrodactyly, syndactyly, finger- and toenail dysplasia, hypoplastic breasts and nipples, intensive freckling, lacrimal duct atresia, frontal alopecia, primary hypodontia and loss of permanent teeth. ADULT syndrome differs significantly from EEC3 syndrome by the absence of facial clefting. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11929852}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate (AEC) [MIM:106260]: An autosomal dominant condition characterized by congenital ectodermal dysplasia with coarse, wiry, sparse hair, dystrophic nails, slight hypohidrosis, scalp infections, ankyloblepharon filiform adnatum, maxillary hypoplasia, hypodontia and cleft lip/palate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11159940}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip/palate syndrome 3 (EEC3) [MIM:604292]: A form of ectodermal dysplasia, a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. It is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by ectrodactyly of hands and feet, ectodermal dysplasia and facial clefting. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10535733, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10839977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11462173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12838557}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Split-hand/foot malformation 4 (SHFM4) [MIM:605289]: A limb malformation involving the central rays of the autopod and presenting with syndactyly, median clefts of the hands and feet, and aplasia and/or hypoplasia of the phalanges, metacarpals, and metatarsals. Some patients have been found to have mental retardation, ectodermal and craniofacial findings, and orofacial clefting. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10839977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11462173}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Limb-mammary syndrome (LMS) [MIM:603543]: Characterized by ectrodactyly, cleft palate and mammary-gland abnormalities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11462173}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=Defects in TP63 are a cause of cervical, colon, head and neck, lung and ovarian cancers.; DISEASE: Ectodermal dysplasia, Rapp-Hodgkin type (EDRH) [MIM:129400]: A form of ectodermal dysplasia, a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. Characterized by the combination of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip, and cleft palate. The clinical syndrome is comprised of a characteristic facies (narrow nose and small mouth), wiry, slow-growing, and uncombable hair, sparse eyelashes and eyebrows, obstructed lacrimal puncta/epiphora, bilateral stenosis of external auditory canals, microsomia, hypodontia, cone-shaped incisors, enamel hypoplasia, dystrophic nails, and cleft lip/cleft palate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12766194, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12939657, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15200513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16740912}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Non-syndromic orofacial cleft 8 (OFC8) [MIM:129400]: A birth defect consisting of cleft lips with or without cleft palate. Cleft lips are associated with cleft palate in two-third of cases. A cleft lip can occur on one or both sides and range in severity from a simple notch in the upper lip to a complete opening in the lip extending into the floor of the nostril and involving the upper gum. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
