ZHX3 zinc fingers and homeoboxes 3

Gene ID: 23051, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TIX1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes (ZHX) gene family. The encoded protein contains two C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeodomains and forms a dimer with itself or with zinc fingers and homeoboxes family member 1. In the nucleus, the dimerized protein interacts with the A subunit of the ubiquitous transcription factor nuclear factor-Y and may function as a transcriptional repressor.
