Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for ZIC1(NM_003412.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Members of this family are important during development. Aberrant expression of this gene is seen in medulloblastoma, a childhood brain tumor. This gene is closely linked to the gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 4, a related family member on chromosome 3. This gene encodes a transcription factor that can bind and transactivate the apolipoprotein E gene. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- zic-1-mediated transcription is repressed by the intracellular domain of teneurin-2
- ZIC1 was excluded from playing a causal role in most cases of JS (Joubert syndrome) as no disease-associated mutations were identified.
- Through physical mapping of 3q2 interstitial deletions in several individuals with Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), we defined the first critical region associated with DWM, encompassing two adjacent Zinc finger in cerebellum genes, ZIC1 and ZIC4.
- this is the first report describing ZIC1 expression in mesenchymal proliferations and a role for DNA methylation in the control of ZIC1 expression.
- Study investigated the effect of an evolutionarily conserved GQ from the mRNA of the zinc-finger protein of the cerebellum 1 (Zic-1); the motif was found to drastically repress translation without affecting the mRNA level in vivo.
- These results revealed ZIC1 as a novel candidate tumor suppressor gene downregulated through promoter hypermethylation in gastric cancer.
