DPF2 double PHD fingers 2

Gene ID: 5977, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: REQ; CSS7; UBID4; ubi-d4; SMARCG2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the d4 domain family, characterized by a zinc finger-like structural motif. This protein functions as a transcription factor which is necessary for the apoptotic response following deprivation of survival factors. It likely serves a regulatory role in rapid hematopoietic cell growth and turnover. This gene is considered a candidate gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, an inherited cancer syndrome involving multiple parathyroid, enteropancreatic, and pituitary tumors.
