Official Full Name: zinc finger protein 124
Also known as: ZK7; HZF16; HZF-16
The gene encodes a protein with a KRAB-A box at the amino terminus and multiple repeats of a kruppel-type (C2H2) zinc finger motif at the carboxy terminus. The encoded protein may function as a transcription factor. In human leukemia cell lines, expression of this gene is increased following vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulation, thereby inhibiting apoptotic cell death induced by irradiation or exposure to etoposide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins.
