Transcription factor 3 (E2A immunoglobulin enhancer-binding factors E12/E47), also known as TCF3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TCF3 gene.cite-ref-entrez-6929-5-0[5]cite-ref-pmid2308859-6-0[6]cite-ref-pmid1967983-7-0[7] TCF3 has been shown to directly enhance Hes1 (a well-known target of Notch signaling) expression.cite-ref-8[8]

Function
This gene encodes a member of the E protein (class I) family of helix-loop-helix transcription factors. The 9aaTAD transactivation domains of E proteins and MLL are very similar and both bind to the KIX domain of general transcriptional mediator CBP.cite-ref-9[9]cite-ref-10[10] E proteins activate transcription by binding to regulatory E-box sequences on target genes as heterodimers or homodimers, and are inhibited by heterodimerization with inhibitor of DNA-binding (class IV) helix-loop-helix proteins. E proteins play a critical role in lymphopoiesis, and the encoded protein is required for the B and T lymphocyte development.cite-ref-entrez-6929-5-1[5]
This gene regulates many developmental patterning processes such as lymphocyte and central nervous system (CNS) development. E proteins are involved in the development of lymphocytes.cite-ref-11[11] They initiate transcription by binding to regulatory E-box sequences on target genes.
Clinical significance
Deletion of this gene or diminished activity of the encoded protein may play a role in lymphoid malignancies. This gene is also involved in several chromosomal translocations that are associated with lymphoid malignancies including pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (t(1;19), with PBX1 and t(17;19), with HLF),cite-ref-12[12] childhood leukemia (t(19;19), with TFPT) and acute leukemia (t(12;19), with ZNF384).cite-ref-entrez-6929-5-2[5]
