Gene: ZC3HAV1

Alternate names for this Gene: ARTD13|FLB6421|PARP13|ZAP|ZC3H2|ZC3HDC2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a CCCH-type zinc finger protein that is thought to prevent infection by retroviruses. Studies of the rat homolog indicate that the protein may primarily function to inhibit viral gene expression and induce an innate immunity to viral infection. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two variants, each encoding distinct isoforms, are described.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q34

Description of this Gene: zinc finger CCCH-type containing, antiviral 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
