This gene encodes a putative zinc finger containing transcription factor that is highly similar to homologous protein in Drosophila and mouse. Based on known functions in these species, this protein is likely involved in hair formation and spermatogenesis in human as well. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Function:
Putative transcription factor. Involved in hair formation and spermatogenesis. May function in the differentiation and/or maintenance of the urogenital system.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in fetal kidney, and also in adult pancreas and placenta. Not expressed in intestine, peripheral blood lymphocytes and ovary.
Similarity:
Contains 4 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
