ID: SP7_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Transcription factor Sp7; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein osterix;
FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator essential for osteoblast differentiation. Binds to SP1 and EKLF consensus sequences and to other G/C-rich sequences (By similarity).SUBUNIT: Interacts with NO66/C14orf169; the interaction is direct and inhibits transcription activator activity (By similarity).SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity).TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Restricted to bone-derived cell.DISEASE: Defects in SP7 are the cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 11 (OI11) [MIM:613849] . A connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, low bone mass, recurrent fractures, mild bone deformations, generalized osteoporosis, delayed teeth eruption, no dentinogenesis imperfecta, normal hearing, and white sclerae.SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.SIMILARITY: Contains 3 C2H2-type zinc fingers.

mRNA Secondary Structure of 3' and 5' UTRs
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on Q8TDD2
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
