Gene: ZNF331

Alternate names for this Gene: RITA|ZNF361|ZNF463

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain found in transcriptional repressors. This gene may be methylated and silenced in cancer cells. This gene is located within a differentially methylated region (DMR) and shows allele-specific expression in placenta. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.42

Description of this Gene: zinc finger protein 331

Type of Gene: protein-coding
