ZBTB16 zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16

Gene ID: 7704, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PLZF; ZNF145

Summary

This gene is a member of the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family and encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that contains nine Kruppel-type zinc finger domains at the carboxyl terminus. This protein is located in the nucleus, is involved in cell cycle progression, and interacts with a histone deacetylase. Specific instances of aberrant gene rearrangement at this locus have been associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.
