Upstream stimulatory factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the USF1 gene.^[1]^[2]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family and can function as a cellular transcription factor. The encoded protein can activate transcription through pyrimidine-rich initiator (Inr) elements and E-box motifs. This gene has been linked to familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.^[2]

A study of mice suggested reduced USF1 levels increases metabolism in brown fat.^[3]

Interactions

USF1 (human gene) has been shown to interact with USF2,^[4]^[5] FOSL1^[6] and GTF2I.^[7]^[8]
