Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and acts as a transcription regulator. This protein has been shown to interact with, and inhibit the activity of, TRPS1, a transcription suppressor of GATA-mediated transcription. Transcription repressor ZNF278/PATZ is found to interact with this protein, and thus reduce the enhancement of androgen receptor-dependent transcription mediated by this protein. Studies of the mouse and rat counterparts suggested a role of this protein in spermatogenesis. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Staining summary

Most of the normal tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional membranous staining was observed in bronchus, fallopian tubes, renal tubules, epididymis and urothelium. Colon, peripheral nerves, placental decidual cells, epididymis and myocytes exhibited strong staining. The liver, pancreas, endocrine glands, skin, breast and cells in spleen were generally negative.
