Summary
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of heart contraction. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human SP4 (Sp4 transcription factor).

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Although our studies initially focused on the relationship between Sp4, TRPV1 and thermal hyperalgesia, our results more broadly suggest that a larger Sp4-dependent gene network or nociceptive transcriptome exists inclusive of TRPV1, TRPA1 and TRPM8.
    Title: Transcription factor Sp4 is required for hyperalgesic state persistence.
  2. RNAi-mediated depletion of Sp4 and Klf5 decreased Tas1r1 expression, while overexpression of Klf5, but not Sp4, significantly increased Tas1r1 expression in the myoblast cells.
    Title: Krüppel-like factor 5 (Klf5) regulates expression of mouse T1R1 amino acid receptor gene (Tas1r1) in C2C12 myoblast cells.
  3. Sp4 hypomorphic mice had markedly elevated theta power localized frontally and parietally, a more pronounced theta phase progression along the neuraxis, and a stronger frontal-parietal theta coupling. Acute subanesthetic ketamine did not affect theta power in wildtype animals but significantly reduced it in Sp4 hypomorphic mice, nearly completely neutralizing their excessive frontal/parietal theta power.
    Title: Ketamine independently modulated power and phase-coupling of theta oscillations in Sp4 hypomorphic mice.
  4. elucidation of the Sp4 molecular pathway in Sp4 hypomorphic mice may provide novel insights to our understanding of abnormal NMDAR signaling in schizophrenia
    Title: Prolonged Ketamine Effects in Sp4 Hypomorphic Mice: Mimicking Phenotypes of Schizophrenia.
  5. The transcription factor Specificity Protein 4 (SP4) is important for neurodevelopment and is genetically associated with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
    Title: GlyT-1 Inhibition Attenuates Attentional But Not Learning or Motivational Deficits of the Sp4 Hypomorphic Mouse Model Relevant to Psychiatric Disorders.
  6. Results suggest that the Sp4 gene in forebrain GABAergic neurons regulates ketamine-induced hyperlocomotion
    Title: Restoration of Sp4 in Forebrain GABAergic Neurons Rescues Hypersensitivity to Ketamine in Sp4 Hypomorphic Mice.
  7. Sp4 functionally regulated GluN1, GluN2A, and GluN2B, but not GluN2C.
    Title: Specificity protein 4 functionally regulates the transcription of NMDA receptor subunits GluN1, GluN2A, and GluN2B.
  8. neuron-specific Sp4 regulates the expression of all 13 subunits of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase(COX) enzyme in primary neurons. Sp4 also regulates mitochondrial transcription factors (TFAM, TFB1M, and TFB2M) and a COX assembly protein SURF-1.
    Title: Neuron-specific specificity protein 4 bigenomically regulates the transcription of all mitochondria- and nucleus-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit genes in neurons.
  9. Sp4 hypomorphic mice could therefore serve as a genetic model to investigate impaired NMDA functions resulting from loss-of-function mutations of human SP4 gene in schizophrenia and/or other psychiatric disorders.
    Title: Reduced NMDAR1 expression in the Sp4 hypomorphic mouse may contribute to endophenotypes of human psychiatric disorders.
  10. Dendritic growth and arborization of dentate granule cells was decreased in hippocampal cultures in vitro from SP4 null mutant neonatal mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
