High impact information on ZFPM2

 

Biological context of ZFPM2

 

Anatomical context of ZFPM2

  • The hFOG-2 gene was initially detected in K562 cells using a polymerase chain reaction approach with degenerate primers corresponding to zinc finger regions of mFOG-1 [7].
  • Taken together with GATA4's known role in promoting EMT, these results suggest that FOG-2 functions in cardiac valve formation as an attenuator of EMT by repressing GATA4 activity within the developing endocardial cushions [8].
  • In postnatal ovary, granulosa cells of growing follicles express FOG-2, partially overlapping with the expression of MIS [9].
 

Other interactions of ZFPM2

  • Therefore, we screened 40 individuals affected by nonsyndromic TriAt for ZFPM2/FOG2 and HEY2 gene mutations [3].
