General description

ZFX, also known as Zinc finger X-chromosomal protein, and encoded by the gene name ZFX, is probable transcriptional activator. This gene on the X chromosome is structurally similar to a related gene on the Y chromosome. It encodes a member of the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. The full-length protein contains an acidic transcriptional activation domain (AD), a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and a DNA binding domain (DBD) consisting of 13 C2H2-type zinc fingers. Studies in mouse embryonic and adult hematopoietic stem cells showed that this gene was required as a transcriptional regulator for self-renewal of both stem cell types, but it was dispensable for growth and differentiation of their progeny. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined.

Target description

~130, ~90, ~59 kDa observed. Three bands (~130 kDa, ~91 kDa and ~59 kDa) corresponding to ZFX were detected. The ~130 kDa band is nuclear, while the ~91 kDa band was found in the cytoplasmic (Zhu, Z., et al. (2013). J Neurooncol. 112:17-25).
