Also known as FCHL, FCHL1, HYPLIP1, MLTF, MLTFI, UEF, bHLHb11, upstream transcription factor 1
Upstream stimulatory factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the USF1 gene.
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). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been defined on chromosome 21. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013].
