Zc4h2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within noradrenergic neuron development; positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and protein monoubiquitination. Located in neuronal cell body. Is expressed in metencephalon basal plate; nervous system; and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wieacker-Wolff syndrome and female-restricted Wieacker-Wolff syndrome. Orthologous to human ZC4H2 (zinc finger C4H2-type containing). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Zc4h2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
