hDIP--a potential transcriptional regulator related to murine TSC-22 and Drosophila shortsighted (shs)--is expressed in a large number of human tissues

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1996 Dec 11;1309(3):200-4. doi: 10.1016/s0167-4781(96)00177-7.

Abstract

We have cloned a 420 bp cDNA from a human fetal brain cDNA library in lambda encoding the human homologue of a DSIP-immunoreactive leucine zipper protein (DIP) isolated from porcine brain. The derived human protein (hDIP) shares a significant sequence identity with parts of the murine TSC-22 and Drosophila shs, both proteins which are discussed as functioning as transcriptional regulators. A similar role of hDIP is partially confirmed by the results of an RT-PCR analysis, demonstrating the widespread distribution of the protein among different human tissues.
