Full name: zinc finger protein 331

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: RITA; ZNF361; ZNF463

Summary: This gene encodes a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain found in transcriptional repressors. This gene may be methylated and silenced in cancer cells. This gene is located within a differentially methylated region (DMR) and shows allele-specific expression in placenta. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

Expression: Broad expression in adrenal (RPKM 22.0), placenta (RPKM 9.5) and 20 other tissues

Gene size: 77035bp

Exon count: 20
