GCMB, which is the mammalian homologue of the Drosophila gene Glial cells missing, encodes a 506 amino acid parathyroid-specific transcription factor that contains: a GCM DNA-binding domain at residues 19–176; a predicted nuclear localization signal (NLS) at residues 176–193; an inhibitory domain at residues 258–347; and two transactivation domains at residues 174–263, and residues 428–506. To date only six different GCMB mu...
