    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger family of proteins. The encoded protein functions as a transcriptional repressor that recruits a corepressor complex to stimulate promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of target genes. Expression of this gene is upregulated in colorectal, ovarian and breast cancer, and this gene may promote cancer cell survival, growth and invasion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

    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.
