Gene: TSHZ2
Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf17|OVC10-2|TSH2|ZABC2|ZNF218
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the teashirt C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family of transcription factors. This gene encodes a protein with five C2H2-type zinc fingers, a homeobox DNA-binding domain and a coiled-coil domain. This nuclear protein is predicted to act as a transcriptional repressor. This gene is thought to play a role in the development and progression of breast and other types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 20
Location in Chromosome : 20q13.2
Description of this Gene: teashirt zinc finger homeobox 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
