Literature associating GRHL1 and jaw cancer

GRHL1 [ENSP00000324693]

Grainyhead-like protein 1 homolog; Transcription factor involved in epithelial development. Binds directly to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-AACCGGTT-3' . Important regulator of DSG1 in the context of hair anchorage and epidermal differentiation, participates in the maintenance of the skin barrier. There is no genetic interaction with GRHL3, no functional cooperativity due to diverse target gene selectivity during epithelia development (By similarity). ECO:0000269|PubMed:12175488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18288204, [Isoform 2]: May function as a repressor in tissues where both isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed.
