Recombinant Human Zinc fingers and homeoboxes protein 2 (ZHX2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9Y6X8

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZHX2

Target Full Name

Zinc fingers and homeoboxes protein 2

Target Function

Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Represses the promoter activity of the CDC25C gene stimulated by NFYA. May play a role in retinal development where it regulates the composition of bipolar cell populations, by promoting differentiation of bipolar OFF-type cells. In the brain, may promote maintenance and suppress differentiation of neural progenitor cells in the developing cortex.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

ZHX family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed in podocytes.

Target Synonyms

AFP regulator 1; AFR1; Alpha fetoprotein regulator 1; Alpha-fetoprotein regulator 1; KIAA0854; RAF; Regulator of AFP; Transcription factor ZHX2; ZHX2; ZHX2_HUMAN; Zinc finger and homeodomain protein 2; Zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2; Zinc fingers and homeoboxes protein 2

Target Background

The members of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family are nuclear homodimeric transcriptional repressors that interact with the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) and contain two C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeobox DNA-binding domains. This gene encodes member 2 of this gene family. In addition to forming homodimers, this protein heterodimerizes with member 1 of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes family.
