CASZ1 - castor zinc finger 1 Gene
Also Known as CST; SRG; CAS11; ZNF693; dJ734G22.1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CASZ1
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in skin (RPKM 7.7), prostate (RPKM 5.8) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene are associated with blood pressure variation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
