Alternate Names for Zic2 Recombinant Protein Antigen

• Zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2
• zinc finger protein ZIC 2

Background

ZIC2 (zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 2) is a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. In mouse, knockout of Zic1 leads to aplasia of cerebellum and skeletal abnormalities. Mutation in Zic2 and Zic3 in mouse and/or human cause holoprosencephaly and heterotaxis, respectively. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain.
