YAF2
protein-codingYY1 associated factor 2, the group of Zinc fingers RANBP2-type
Gene summary
This gene encodes a zinc finger containing protein that functions in the regulation of transcription. This protein was identified as an interacting partner of transcriptional repressor protein Yy1, and also interacts with other transcriptional regulators, including Myc and Polycomb. This protein can promote proteolysis of Yy1. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_005748.6. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Binds to MYC and inhibits MYC-mediated transactivation. Also binds to MYCN and enhances MYCN-dependent transcriptional activation. Increases calpain 2-mediated proteolysis of YY1 in vitro. Component of the E2F6.com-1 complex, a repressive complex that methylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3, suggesting that it is involved in chromatin-remodeling. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11593398, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12706874, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9016636}.;
