靶标信息HOPX is an atypical homeodomain protein which does not bind DNA and is required to modulate cardiac growth and development. HOPX acts via its interaction with SRF, thereby modulating the expression of SRF-dependent cardiac-specific genes and cardiac development. HOPX prevents SRF-dependent transcription either by inhibiting SRF binding to DNA or by recruiting histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins that prevent transcription by SRF. HOPX overexpression causes cardiac hypertrophy and may act as a tumor suppressor. |
