Summary
The Krueppel-associated box (KRAB) is a domain of around 75 amino acids found in the N-terminal portion of about one third of eukaryotic Krueppel-type C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs). The KRAB domain functions as a transcriptional repressor when tethered to the template DNA by a DNA-binding domain. Although the function of KRAB-ZFPs is largely unknown, they appear to play important roles during cell differentiation and development. This gene encodes a protein belonging to the Krueppel family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins and has been shown to accumulate in the nuclei of mature sperm in association with the nuclear matrix.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
