Background
disease:Genetic variations in USF1 are associated with combined hyperlipidemia type 1 (HYPLIP1) [MIM:602491]; also known as familial combined hyperlipidemia type 1 (FCHL1). HYPLIP1 is characterized by elevated levels of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides or both, and is observed in about 20% of individuals with premature coronary heart disease.,function:Transcription factor that binds to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') that is found in a variety of viral and cellular promoters.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Binds DNA as an homodimer or a heterodimer (USF1/USF2). Interacts with varicella-zoster virus IE62 protein.,
