Gene: DPF2
Alternate names for this Gene: CSS7|REQ|UBID4|ubi-d4
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the d4 domain family, characterized by a zinc finger-like structural motif. This protein functions as a transcription factor which is necessary for the apoptotic response following deprivation of survival factors. It likely serves a regulatory role in rapid hematopoietic cell growth and turnover. This gene is considered a candidate gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, an inherited cancer syndrome involving multiple parathyroid, enteropancreatic, and pituitary tumors.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q13.1
Description of this Gene: double PHD fingers 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
