Summary
This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. Mutations in this gene cause holoprosencephaly type 5.
Gene References into function
- Sample was too small to reach definitive conclusions, but the evidence is sufficiently intriguing to encourage further research.
- Holoprosencephaly in monosomy 13q may be related to ZIC2 gene loss of function.
- Zic2 is an evolutionarily conserved determinant of retinal ganglion cells that project ipsilaterally
- Four novel ZIC2 mutations found in a cohort of Holoprosencephaly patinets.
- The C-terminal alanine-tract of ZIC2 influences the strength of DNA binding and alters transcriptional activity in a promoter-specific manner
- Forms two different complexes with DNA-dependent protein kinase, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, and RNA helicase A; all the components interacted directly with Zic2 protein
- This transcription factor regulates the expression of EphB1 in RGCs and also suggest the existence of an additional EphB1-independent pathway controlled by Zic2 that contributes to retinal axon divergence at the midline.
