OCT1 Proteins and Enzymes

Oct1 is a transcription factor that binds to the octamer motif (5'-ATTTGCAT-3') and activates the promoters of the genes for some small nuclear RNAs (snRNA) and of genes such as those for histone H2B and immunoglobulins. It modulates transcription transactivation by NR3C1, AR and PGR and interacts with NR3C1, AR and PGR. Oct1 is Ubiquitous and belo...
