Disease relevance of HCFC2

Herpes simplex virus transactivator VP16 discriminates between HCF-1 and a novel family member, HCF-2 [1].

High impact information on HCFC2

Here we describe the identification of a second HCF-like protein, designated HCF-2 [1].
HCF-2 is expressed in many tissues, especially the testis, and shows a more dynamic pattern of subcellular localization than HCF-1 [1].
HCF-2 is smaller than HCF-1 but shares three regions of strong amino acid sequence homology, including the beta-propeller domain required for association with VP16 [1].
Direct and indirect action mechanism of the C2 factor on the blood capillaries [2].
