Gene: ZNF816-ZNF321P

Alternate names for this Gene: ZNF816-ZNF321

Gene Summary: This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the zinc finger protein 816 (ZNF816) gene and the zinc finger protein 321 (ZNF321) pseudogene on chromosome 19. The read-through transcript encodes a KRAB domain-containing protein that shares sequence identity with the upstream gene product, but it contains a distinct C-terminus encoded by exon structure from the downstream pseudogene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.41

Description of this Gene: ZNF816-ZNF321P readthrough
