Casz1 - castor zinc finger 1

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron differentiation and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in chromatin; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system. Used to study chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome. Orthologous to human CASZ1 (castor zinc finger 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
