ZIC2 - Zic family member 2 Gene
Also Known as HPE5
Species: Homo sapiens
About ZIC2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 220 orthologues, 14 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 3.1) and testis (RPKM 0.7).
Summary
This 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. Expansion of an alanine repeat in the C-terminus of the encoded protein and Other 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, Jul 2016]
