Transcription factor HIVEP2 (HIVEP2)

This protein specifically binds to the DNA sequence 5'- GGGACTTTCC-3' that is found in the enhancer elements of numerous viral promoters like those of SV40, CMV, or HIV1. In addition, related sequences are found in the enhancer elements of a number of cellular promoters, including those of the class I MHC, interleukin-2 receptor, somatostatin receptor II, and interferon- beta genes.

It could act in T-cell activation. .
