Gene: HIVEP2
Alternate names for this Gene: HIV-EP2|MBP-2|MIBP1|MRD43|SHN2|ZAS2|ZNF40B
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of closely related, large, zinc finger-containing transcription factors. The encoded protein regulates transcription by binding to regulatory regions of various cellular and viral genes that maybe involved in growth, development and metastasis. The protein contains the ZAS domain comprised of two widely separated regions of zinc finger motifs, a stretch of highly acidic amino acids and a serine/threonine-rich sequence.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q24.2
Description of this Gene: HIVEP zinc finger 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
