Gene: ZBTB16
Alternate names for this Gene: PLZF|ZNF145
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family and encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that contains nine Kruppel-type zinc finger domains at the carboxyl terminus. This protein is located in the nucleus, is involved in cell cycle progression, and interacts with a histone deacetylase. Specific instances of aberrant gene rearrangement at this locus have been associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q23.2
Description of this Gene: zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16
Type of Gene: protein-coding
