Description
Product Characteristics:
Zic5 (zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5) is a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor that influences development of the neural crest. Zic family members are abundant in developing and adult cerebellum. Zic family members are important during development, and have been associated with X-linked visceral heterotaxy and holoprosencephaly type 5. Zic5 is closely linked to Zic2, a related family member on chromosome 13.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: zic5, ZIC5_HUMAN, Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5, Zinc finger protein ZIC 5.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Members of this family are important during development, and have been associated X-linked visceral heterotaxy and holoprosencephaly type 5. This gene is closely linked to a gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2, a related family member on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
