Also known as PEGASUS; Zfpn1a5; 2610034F18Rik

About Ikzf5

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human IKZF5 (IKAROS family zinc finger 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
