LZTR1 leucine zipper like post translational regulator 1

Gene ID: 8216, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NS2; NS10; BTBD29; LZTR-1; SWNTS2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the BTB-kelch superfamily. Initially described as a putative transcriptional regulator based on weak homology to members of the basic leucine zipper-like family, the encoded protein subsequently has been shown to localize exclusively to the Golgi network where it may help stabilize the Gogli complex. Deletion of this gene may be associated with DiGeorge syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
