| Gene Summary: | This gene is imprinted in a tissue-specific manner with preferential expression in the testis, and encodes a zinc finger protein that belongs to a family of zinc finger transcription factors. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal SRE-ZBP, Ctfin51, AW-1, and Number 18 (SCAN) domain, a kruppel-associated box A (KRABA) domain, and four C-terminal zinc finger domains. This gene is located within one of three regions on chromosome 11p15 associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, called Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome chromosome region-2 (BWSCR2), and is thought to play a role in the etiology of this disease.
