Gene information for ZIC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7546
Official gene symbolZIC2
Full nameZic family member 2 (odd-paired homolog, Drosophila)
Aliases,HPE5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. Mutations in this gene cause holoprosencephaly type 5. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain. A polyhistidine tract polymorphism in this gene may be associated with increased risk of neural tube defects. This gene is closely linked to a gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5, a related family member on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq]
