The GAGA factor is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein, which participates in the regulation of the expression of a variety of different classes of genes in Drosophila such as many developmentally regulated genes, stress induced genes, and cell cycle regulated genes, as well as housekeeping genes. GAGA contains a C-terminal glutamine-rich domain and a highly conserved N-terminal POZ domain which reported to be involved in self-oligomerization in a number of other POZ domain containing proteins. In case of GAGA protein, the N-terminal POZ domain mediates the formation of oligomers both in vitro and in vivo Synonyms: Transcription factor GAGA, Trithorax-like protein, GAGA factor, GAF, Adh transcription factor 2, Neural conserved at 70F, Trl, Adf-2, GAGA, Nc70F, TFGAGA, CG33261, GAGA-POZ
