zinc finger protein 638, the group of RNA binding motif containing

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleoplasmic protein. It binds cytidine-rich sequences in double-stranded DNA. This protein has three types of domains: MH1, MH2 (repeated three times) and MH3. It is associated with packaging, transferring, or processing transcripts. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_014497.5. 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: Early regulator of adipogenesis that works as a transcription cofactor of CEBPs, controlling the expression of PPARG and probably of other proadipogenic genes, such as SREBF1 (By similarity). Binds to cytidine clusters in double-stranded DNA (PubMed:8647861). May also regulate alternative splicing of target genes during adipogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61464, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8647861}.;
