NCBI Summary for Wt1
This gene encodes a transcription factor that contains four zinc-finger motifs at the C-terminus and a proline/glutamine-rich DNA-binding domain at the N-terminus. It plays an essential role in the normal development of the urogenital system, and the orthologous human gene is mutated in a small subset of patients with Wilm's tumors. Alternative splicing has been noted for this gene, however, the full-length nature of these variants is not known. The mRNA for this gene has been shown to initiate translation from non-AUG (CUG) and AUG translation start sites, resulting in different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
UniProt Comments for Wt1
Transcription factor that plays an important role in cellular development and cell survival (PubMed:16467207, PubMed:16920711, PubMed:17537799). Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GCG(T/G)GGGCG-3' (). Regulates the expression of numerous target genes, including EPO (PubMed:16467207). Plays an essential role for development of the urogenital system. It has a tumor suppressor as well as an oncogenic role in tumor formation. Function may be isoform-specific: isoforms lacking the KTS motif may act as transcription factors. Isoforms containing the KTS motif may bind mRNA and play a role in mRNA metabolism or splicing (PubMed:17167543). Isoform 1 has lower affinity for DNA, and can bind RNA.
