CAMTA2 Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the calmodulin-binding transcription activator protein family. Members of this family share a common domain structure that consists of a transcription activation domain, a DNA-binding domain, and a calmodulin-binding domain. The encoded protein may be a transcriptional coactivator of genes involved in cardiac growth. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human CAMTA2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- Ankyrin repeats (many copies)
- CG-1 domain
- transcription co-activator
- IPT/TIG domain
- Ankyrin repeats (3 copies)
- transcription factor binding
- histone deacetylase binding
- chromatin binding
- protein binding
- sequence-specific DNA binding
