Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: ZNF631
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that includes several Kruppel-like zinc fingers in its C-terminal region. It possesses both activation and repression domains, and it can therefore have both positive and negative effects on the transcription of target genes. This gene has an intronless coding region, and it appears to have arisen by retrotransposition of the related YY1 transcription factor gene, which is located on chromosome 14.

Title: The transcription factor YY2 has less momentous properties of an intrinsically disordered protein than its paralog YY1.
A summary is of the published studies on the expression levels of YY1 in human cancers and their potential cross-reactivities with YY2 is also provided. Well-documented monospecific antibodies to both YY1 and YY2 have to be developed and used when examining the expression levels of YY1 and YY2 in human cancers to elucidate the accurate relationship between them and clinical significance of each.

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.
