Full name: zinc finger protein 42

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Rex-1; Rex1; Zfp-42

Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; regulation of genetic imprinting; and spermatid development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in early conceptus; gonad; tail; and ureter. Orthologous to human ZFP42 (ZFP42 zinc finger protein).
