FEZF1 FEZ family zinc finger 1

Gene ID: 389549, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FEZ; HH22; ZNF312B

Summary

This gene encodes a transcriptional repressor that belongs to the zinc finger double domain protein family. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in the embryonic migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons into the brain. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism-22 with anosmia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
