ZNF423 zinc finger protein 423

Gene ID: 23090, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OAZ; Roaz; hOAZ; Ebfaz; JBTS19; NPHP14; ZFP423; Zfp104

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that belongs to the family of Kruppel-like C2H2 zinc finger proteins. It functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor by using distinct zinc fingers in different signaling pathways. Thus, it is thought that this gene may have multiple roles in signal transduction during development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis-14 and Joubert syndrome-19. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
