Recombinant Human Zinc finger protein ZIC 3 (ZIC3)

Uniprot Id

O60481

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZIC3

Target Full Name

Zinc finger protein ZIC 3

Target Function

Acts as transcriptional activator. Required in the earliest stages in both axial midline development and left-right (LR) asymmetry specification. Binds to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-GGGTGGTC-3'.

Target Involvement

Heterotaxy, visceral, 1, X-linked (HTX1); VACTERL association X-linked with or without hydrocephalus (VACTERLX); Congenital heart defects, multiple types, 1, X-linked (CHTD1)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

GLI C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

Target Synonyms

Heterotaxy 1; HTX; HTX1; VACTERLX; ZIC 3; Zic family member 3 (odd paired Drosophila homolog heterotaxy 1); Zic family member 3; Zic3; ZIC3_HUMAN; Zinc finger protein 203; Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 3; Zinc finger protein ZIC 3 (Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 3); Zinc finger protein ZIC 3; ZNF203

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This nuclear protein probably functions as a transcription factor in early stages of left-right body axis formation. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked visceral heterotaxy, which includes congenital heart disease and left-right axis defects in organs.
