SP2

SP2 refers to Specificity Protein 2. It is also commonly known as SP2 transcription factor. This protein plays a crucial role in gene transcription regulation. It interacts with DNA promoter regions, influencing the expression of various genes. SP2 is involved in the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways, which are essential for cell proliferation, differentiation, and development.
Defects in SP2 have been associated with certain cancers and developmental disorders. In drug development, research is focusing on targeting SP2 to modulate its function and disrupt the associated signaling pathways. This could potentially lead to new therapies for diseases related to abnormal SP2 activity.
