Also known as: Gm397; Zscan4d; XM_142517
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of mitotic recombination; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and telomere maintenance via telomere lengthening. Located in chromosome, telomeric region; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in 1-cell stage embryo; 2-cell stage embryo; primary oocyte; and secondary oocyte. Orthologous to human ZSCAN4 (zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Zscan4c activates endogenous retrovirus transposable elements and cleavage embryo genes.
Title: Zscan4c activates endogenous retrovirus MERVL and cleavage embryo genes.
Data show that zinc finger protein 42 (Rex1) and zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 4D/4C (Zscan4D/4C) correlate with the cell-cycle length under different mechanisms.
Title: Zscan4 Is Activated after Telomere Shortening in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells.
this study identified a unique set of facultative heterochromatin regions that respond specifically to Zscan4 expression (tentatively called 'Z4 event-associated heterochromatin, zHC').
Title: Transient bursts of Zscan4 expression are accompanied by the rapid derepression of heterochromatin in mouse embryonic stem cells.

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.
