Uniprot Id

Q9UKT9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IKZF3

Target Full Name

Zinc finger protein Aiolos

Target Function

Transcription factor that plays an important role in the regulation of lymphocyte differentiation. Plays an essential role in regulation of B-cell differentiation, proliferation and maturation to an effector state. Involved in regulating BCL2 expression and controlling apoptosis in T-cells in an IL2-dependent manner.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

Ikaros C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed most strongly in peripheral blood leukocytes, the spleen, and the thymus.

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger proteins. Three members of this protein family (Ikaros, Aiolos and Helios) are hematopoietic-specific transcription factors involved in the regulation of lymphocyte development. This gene product is a transcription factor that is important in the regulation of B lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation. Both Ikaros and Aiolos can participate in chromatin remodeling. Regulation of gene expression in B lymphocytes by Aiolos is complex as it appears to require the sequential formation of Ikaros homodimers, Ikaros/Aiolos heterodimers, and Aiolos homodimers. Several alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described, as well as some non-protein coding variants.
