Gene: LUZP1

Alternate names for this Gene: LUZP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that contains a leucine zipper motif. The exact function of the encoded protein is not known. In mice this gene affects neural tube closure. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.12

Description of this Gene: leucine zipper protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
