COUP-TFII (COUP transcription factor 2), also known as NR2F2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NR2F2 gene.^[5][6] The COUP acronym stands for chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter.

Function

COUP-TFII plays a critical role in controlling the development of a number of tissues and organs including heart, blood vessels, muscles and limbs.^[7][8]

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) stimulates COUP-TFII-induced transactivation while COUP-TFII represses the GR transcriptional activity.^[9][10] COUP-TFII interacts with GATA2 to inhibit adipocyte differentiation.^[11]

Structure and ligands

The structure of COUP-TF2 LBD is known. Retinoic acid, although not at physiological concentrations, activate this receptor.^[12]

Interactions

COUP-TFII has been shown to interact with:

• HDAC1^[13]
• Lck^[14]
• V-erbA-related gene.^[15]
• Nucleolin^[16]
