Grhl3 (NM_001013756) Mouse Recombinant Protein

Transcription factor playing important roles in primary neurulation and in the differentiation of stratified epithelia of both ectodermal and endodermal origin. Binds directly to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-AACCGGTT-3' acting as an activator and repressor on distinct target genes. Essential for epidermal differentiation and barrier formation at the end of embryogenesis with TGM3 as critical direct target (PubMed:21081122, PubMed:20654612, PubMed:25347468) . Exhibits functional redundancy with GRHL2 in epidermal morphogenetic events such as eyelid fusion and epidermal wound repair (PubMed:21081122) . Despite being dispensable during normal epidermal homeostasis in the adulthood, is again required for barrier repair after immune-mediated epidermal damage, regulates distinct gene batteries in embryonic epidermal differentiation and adult epidermal barrier reformation after injury (PubMed:25347468) . Plays unique and cooperative roles with GRHL2 in establishing distinct zones of primary neurulation. Essential for spinal closure, functions cooperatively with GRHL2 in closure 2 (forebrain/midbrain boundary) and posterior neuropore closure (PubMed:14608380, PubMed:20654612) . Also required for proper development of the oral periderm (PubMed:24360809) . No genetic interaction with GRHL1, no functional cooperativity due to diverse target gene selectivity (PubMed:21081122) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
