ZNF750
Function
Transcription factor involved in epidermis differentiation. Required for terminal epidermal differentiation: acts downstream of p63/TP63 and activates expression of late epidermal differentiation genes. Specifically binds to the promoter of KLF4 and promotes its expression.
Involvement in disease
Seborrhea-like dermatitis with psoriasiform elements
SLDP
Characterized by a chronic fine diffuse scaly erythematous rash on the face, particularly on the chin, nasolabial folds and eyebrows, around earlobes and over the scalp. The rash exacerbate in the winter, with emotional stress and after strenuous physical activity. Hyperkeratosis of skin over the elbows, knees, palms, soles and metacarpophalangeal joints is evident. There is no arthralgia, arthritis or neurological disorders.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in the skin, prostate, lung, placenta and thymus, and at low level in T-cells. Not expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, pancreas and brain. Clearly expressed in primary keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
Alternative names
Zinc finger protein 750, ZNF750
