Disease relevance of ZHX3

  • In experimental minimal change disease, ZHX3 was transiently down-regulated prior to the onset of proteinuria, and recovery of expression was associated with migration of ZHX3 protein into the nucleus and the development of proteinuria [1].
 

High impact information on ZHX3

  • While studying mechanisms of glomerular disease, rat ZHX3 was cloned from a down-regulated gene fragment; its cellular localization, DNA binding, and transcriptional repressor properties were characterized; and its ability to influence podocyte gene expression directly or via ZHX1 and ZHX2 was studied [1].
  • This expression pattern mirrored the increased nuclear ZHX3 expression noted in vivo in the podocytes in human minimal change disease biopsies [1].
  • In vitro, migration of ZHX3 protein into the nucleus during recovery from transient ZHX3 knockdown reproduced the gene expression profile of in vivo minimal change disease [1].
  • Analysis of zinc-fingers and homeoboxes (ZHX)-1-interacting proteins: molecular cloning and characterization of a member of the ZHX family, ZHX3 [2].
  • A 4.5-kb ZHX2 transcript, and three ZHX3 transcripts, 9.5-, 6.5- and 4.4-kb, are ubiquitously expressed, although their levels vary [3].
 

Biological context of ZHX3

 

Other interactions of ZHX3

  • We concluded that the protein forms the ZHX family with ZHX1 and denoted it ZHX3 [2].
