Binding of TFAP2A (AP-2 alpha) or TFAP2C (AP-2 gamma) dimers to the promoter of the estrogen receptor ESR1 gene promotes ESR1 transcription (McPherson and Weigel 1999). TFAP2A expression correlates with ESR1 expression in breast cancer and TFAP2C is frequently overexpressed in estrogen-positive breast cancer and endometrial cancer (deConinck et al. 1995, Turner et al. 1998).
