Official Full Name: zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7B
Also known as: vGAF; CKROX; THPOK; ZFP67; ZBTB15; ZFP-67; c-KROX; hcKROX; ZNF857B
This gene encodes a zinc finger-containing transcription factor that acts as a key regulator of lineage commitment of immature T-cell precursors. It is necessary and sufficient for commitment of CD4 lineage, while its absence causes CD8 commitment. It also functions as a transcriptional repressor of type I collagen genes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
