YAF2 - YY1 associated factor 2 Gene

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 10138

About YAF2

Cytogenetic location: 12q12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:42,157,104-42,238,248 (from NCBI)

This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 120 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 3.8), brain (RPKM 3.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a zinc finger containing protein that functions in the regulation of transcription. This protein was identified as an interacting partner of transcriptional repressor protein Yy1, and also interacts with Other transcriptional regulators, including Myc and Polycomb. This protein can promote proteolysis of Yy1. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
