HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: DPF1
Cytogenetic location: 19q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38) : 19:38,211,006-38,229,695 (from NCBI)
Chestkov et al. (1996) described human DPF1, which they called Neuro-D4, a conserved gene encoding a 353-amino acid neural-specific zinc finger protein. A cysteine- and histidine-rich region of the C terminus distinguishes members of the D4 family, including Neuro-D4, from other zinc finger proteins. The human and rat Neuro-D4 cDNAs are 93% identical, and there are only 3 amino acid differences between the proteins. Different alternatively spliced cDNAs were observed.
Chestkov et al. (1996) mapped the DPF1 gene to chromosome 19 by somatic cell hybrid analysis.
