ZFPM2（zinc finger protein， FOG family member 2），癌症关联基因，基因ID：23414，该基因编码的锌指蛋白是fog家族转录因子中广泛表达的一个成员。家族成员调节gata家族蛋白的活性，gata家族蛋白是哺乳动物造血和心脏发生的重要调节因子。研究表明，该蛋白既能激活GATA靶基因的表达，又能下调GATA靶基因的表达，提示在不同的启动子环境下，GATA靶基因的表达具有不同的调节作用一个相关的mrna暗示了一个选择性的剪接产物，但是这个信息还没有被序列完全支持。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]The zinc finger protein encoded by this gene is a widely expressed member of the FOG family of transcription factors. The family members modulate the activity of GATA family proteins， which are important regulators of hematopoiesis and cardiogenesis in mammals. It has been demonstrated that the protein can both activate and down-regulate expression of GATA-target genes， suggesting different modulation in different promoter contexts. A related mRNA suggests an alternatively spliced product but this information is not yet fully supported by the sequence. [provided by RefSeq， Jul 2008]。
