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 DNA-binding domain at residues 21–174; a predicted nuclear localization signal at residues 176–193; an inhibitory domain at residues 258–347; and two transactivation domains at residues 174–263, and residues 428–506. Mutations of GCMB, which is located on chrom...
