Gene information for ZNF384 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID171017
Official gene symbolZNF384
Full namezinc finger protein 384
Aliases,CAGH1,CAGH1A,CIZ,ERDA2,FLJ59043,NMP4,NP,TNRC1,
Gene summaryThis gene contains long CAG trinucleotide repeats coding consecutive glutamine residues. The gene product may functions as a transcription factor, with a potential role in the regulation of neurodevelopment or neuroplasticity. The protein appears to bind and regulate the promoters of MMP1, MMP3, MMP7 and COL1A1. Studies in mouse suggest that nuclear matrix transcription factors (NP/NMP4) may be part of a general mechanical pathway that couples cell construction and function during extracellular matrix remodeling. Multiple transcript variants encoding several isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
