Also known as: ZFH-5
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. Involved in regulation of sensory perception of pain. Acts upstream of or within adult behavior. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; male reproductive system; musculature; nervous system; and urinary system. Used to study Marsili syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Marsili syndrome. Orthologous to human ZFHX2 (zinc finger homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Homozygous Zfhx2-deficient mice showed several behavioral abnormalities, namely, hyperactivity, enhanced depression-like behaviors, and an aberrantly altered anxiety-like phenotype
Title: Behavioral abnormalities observed in Zfhx2-deficient mice.
Results report features of zfh-5 isolated from the mouse brain; in addition to the mRNA, the antisense strand of zfh-5 is also expressed in the developing brain, in a manner complementary to the expression of zfh-5 mRNA.
Title: Novel transcription factor zfh-5 is negatively regulated by its own antisense RNA in mouse brain.

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.
