USF2
This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family, and can function as a cellular transcription factor. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Interaction
Interacts with MAF (By similarity). Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Binds DNA as a homodimer or a heterodimer (USF1/USF2). In vivo, the USF1/USF2A heterodimer represents over 66% of the usf binding activity whereas the USF1 and USF2A homodimers represent less than 10%. The USF1/USF2B heterodimer accounted for almost 15% in some cell.
