Ctcfl - CCCTC-binding factor (zinc finger protein)-like Gene

Also Known as Boris

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 664799

Summary

Enables histone binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA methylation involved in gamete generation; histone methylation; and regulation of gene expression by genetic imprinting. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in eye and nervous system. Orthologous to human CTCFL (CCCTC-binding factor like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
