Pogo Transposable Element With ZNF Domain (POGZ)

POGZ appears to be a zinc finger protein containing a transposase domain at the C-terminus. This protein was found to interact with the transcription factor SP1 in a yeast two-hybrid system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.Six overlapping cDNA clones corresponded to the Hsc70 protein. Host cell factor (HCF-1) and the KIAA0461 gene (encoding a putative Zn-finger protein of unknown function) were both identified through the isolation of three overlapping cDNA clones. Two cDNA fragments encoding the same region of the SREBP-2 transcription factor were independently selected and two overlapping cDNA clones corresponded to the splicing factor SF3A120.
