CNBP, Official Symbol CNBPprovided by HGNC Official Full Name CCHC-type zinc finger nucleic acid binding proteinprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:13164 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000169714 MIM:116955; AllianceGenome:HGNC:13164 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as DM2; ZNF9; CNBP1; PROMM; RNF163; ZCCHC22 Summary This gene encodes a nucleic-acid binding protein with seven zinc-finger domains. The protein has a preference for binding single stranded DNA and RNA. The protein functions in cap-independent translation of ornithine decarboxylase mRNA, and may also function in sterol-mediated transcriptional regulation. A CCTG expansion from <30 repeats to 75-11000 repeats in the first intron of this gene results in myotonic dystrophy type 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
