ZHX3 Antibody

Zinc-fingers and homeobox (ZHX) proteins are transcription factors that interact with the activation domain of the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) . ZHX1-3 are ubiquitously expressed proteins expressed in various tissues. They act as transcriptional repressors and localize to the nucleus. The ZHX proteins contain two Cys2-His2-type zinc-finger motifs and five homeodomains (HDs) . These domains allow the ZHX proteins to form homodimers, but they can also form heterodimers with each other. However, this dimerization is not required for repressor activity. Hypermethylation-mediated silencing of ZHX2 is an epigenetic event involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) .
