Transcription factor 3 gene transcriptions
Transcription factor 3 (E2A immunoglobulin enhancer-binding factors E12/E47) (TCF3), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TCF3 gene. TCF3 has been shown to directly enhance Hes1 (a well-known target of Notch signaling) expression.
This gene encodes a member of the E protein (class I) family of helix-loop-helix transcription factors. The 9aaTAD transactivation domains of E proteins and MLL are very similar and both bind to the KIX domain of general transcriptional mediator CBP.

# Human genes
Gene ID: 6929 is TCF3 transcription factor 3 on 19p13.3: "This gene encodes a member of the E protein (class I) family of helix-loop-helix transcription factors. E proteins activate transcription by binding to regulatory E-box sequences on target genes as heterodimers or homodimers, and are inhibited by heterodimerization with inhibitor of DNA-binding (class IV) helix-loop-helix proteins. E proteins play a critical role in lymphopoiesis, and the encoded protein is required for B and T lymphocyte development. Deletion of this gene or diminished activity of the encoded protein may play a role in lymphoid malignancies. This gene is also involved in several chromosomal translocations that are associated with lymphoid malignancies including pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (t(1;19), with PBX1), childhood leukemia (t(19;19), with TFPT) and acute leukemia (t(12;19), with ZNF384). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9."

# Promoter occurrences

# Hypotheses
- A1BG has no regulatory elements in either promoter.
- A1BG is not transcribed by a regulatory element.
- No regulatory element participates in the transcription of A1BG.

# TCF3 samplings
Copying a responsive elements consensus sequence GTCTGGT and putting the sequence in "F" finds none between ZNF497 and A1BG or none between ZSCAN22 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.

# TCF analysis and results
Consensus sequence found in the promoter of TUG1 is GTCTGGT.
Comparison:
The occurrences of real TCFs are greater than the randoms. This suggests that the real TCFs are likely active or activable.
