Gene: ZHX2

Alternate names for this Gene: AFR1|RAF

Gene Summary: The members of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family are nuclear homodimeric transcriptional repressors that interact with the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) and contain two C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeobox DNA-binding domains. This gene encodes member 2 of this gene family. In addition to forming homodimers, this protein heterodimerizes with member 1 of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes family.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q24.13

Description of this Gene: zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2
