ZNF331 zinc finger protein 331

Gene ID: 55422, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RITA; ZNF361; ZNF463

Summary

This gene encodes a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain found in transcriptional repressors. This gene may be methylated and silenced in cancer cells. This gene is located within a differentially methylated region (DMR) and shows allele-specific expression in placenta. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
