Gene: CASZ1
Alternate names for this Gene: CAS11|CST|SRG|ZNF693|dJ734G22.1
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene are associated with blood pressure variation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p36.22
Description of this Gene: castor zinc finger 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
