Zinc Fingers And Homeoboxes Protein 1, Isoform 2 (ZHX1I2)

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 1 of this gene family. In addition to forming homodimers, this protein heterodimerizes with members 2 and 3 of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.This isoform has been chosen as the """canonical""" sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
