Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DELTA; NF-E1; UCRBP; GADEVS; INO80S; YIN-YANG-1

Summary

YY1 is a ubiquitously distributed transcription factor belonging to the GLI-Kruppel class of zinc finger proteins. The protein is involved in repressing and activating a diverse number of promoters. YY1 may direct histone deacetylases and histone acetyltransferases to a promoter in order to activate or repress the promoter, thus implicating histone modification in the function of YY1.
