Zkscan17 - zinc finger with KRAB and SCAN domains 17 Gene

Also Known as Nizp1; Zfp496; Znf496

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 268417

Summary

Enables DNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage conceptus; 4-8 cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; genitourinary system; and morula-stage conceptus. Orthologous to human ZNF496 (Zinc Finger Protein 496). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]
Ubiquitous expression in testis adult (RPKM 32.5), ovary adult (RPKM 10.5) and 28 other tissues.
