ZIC5 - Zic family member 5 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About ZIC5
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 237 orthologues and 14 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 2.7).
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional repressor. Studies in mouse and Xenopus support a role for this gene in neural crest development. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in various human cancers and may contribute to Cancer progression. This gene is closely linked to a related family member on chromosome 13.
