Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51213
Gene name Leucine zipper protein 4
Gene symbol LUZP4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CT-28CT-8CT28HOM-TES-85
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xq23
Summary This gene encodes a leucine-zipper protein that was first defined as a cancer testis antigens. The encoded protein is an RNA binding protein that interacts with the mRNA export receptor nuclear RNA export factor 2. Alternate splicing results in multiple t

Protein name Leucine zipper protein 4 (Cancer/testis antigen 28) (CT-28) (CT28) (Tumor antigen HOM-TES-85)
Protein function Export adapter involved in mRNA nuclear export in cancer cells. Binds and enhances the RNA-binding activity of the nuclear RNA export factor NXF1. Can restore mRNA export function in cells compromised by loss of mRNA export adapters (PubMed:2566
