Official Full Name: growth factor independent 1B transcriptional repressor
Also known as: BDPLT17; ZNF163B
This gene encodes a zinc finger-containing transcriptional regulator that is predominantly expressed in cells of the hematopoietic lineage. The encoded protein binds to many other transcriptional regulators, including GATA-1, dwarf-associated transcription factor 1, and histone deacetylases, and controls the expression of genes involved in erythroid and megakaryocyte development and maturation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the autosomal dominant platelet disorder, platelet hemorrhagic disorder-17. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
