Full name: myelin transcription factor 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Nzf2; Nzf2a; Nzf2b; Nztf2

Summary: This gene is a member of the myelin transcription factor 1 gene family. The encoded protein, a zinc finger DNA-binding protein, is involved in regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation and proliferation in the developing central nervous system. The gene product has a role in remyelination through regeneration of oligodendrocyte lineage cells in response to demyelination. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
