AP-2 beta is a member of the AP-2 family of transcription factors. AP-2 proteins form homo- or hetero-dimers with other AP-2 family members and bind specific DNA sequences. They are thought to stimulate cell proliferation and suppress terminal differentiation of specific cell types during embryonic development. Specific AP-2 family members differ in their expression patterns and binding affinity for different promoters. This protein functions as both a transcriptional activator and repressor.
The predicted protein differs from AP-2-alpha and -gamma in the N-terminal activation domain, but is 75 to 85% conserved within the DNA-binding and dimerization domains. All 3 gene products (AP-2-alpha, -beta, and -gamma) bind the GCCNNNGGC motif.
