ID:FOG2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Zinc finger protein ZFPM2; AltName: Full=Friend of GATA protein 2; Short=FOG-2; Short=Friend of GATA 2; Short=hFOG-2; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein 89B; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein multitype 2; FUNCTION: Transcription regulator that plays a central role in heart morphogenesis and development of coronary vessels from epicardium, by regulating genes that are essential during cardiogenesis. Essential cofactor that acts via the formation of a heterodimer with transcription factors of the GATA family GATA4, GATA5 and GATA6. Such heterodimer can both activate or repress transcriptional activity, depending on the cell and promoter context. Also required in gonadal differentiation, possibly be regulating expression of SRY. Probably acts a corepressor of NR2F2 (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with the N-terminal zinc-finger of GATA4, GATA5 and probably GATA6. Interacts with retinoid nuclear receptor RXRA when ligand bound (By similarity). Interacts with corepressor CTBP2; this interaction is however not essential for corepressor activity. Able to bind GATA1 in vitro. Interacts with NR2F2 and NR2F6 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed at low level. DOMAIN: The CCHC-type zinc fingers 1, 5, 6 and 8 directly bind to GATA-type zinc fingers. The Tyr residue adjacent to the last Cys of the CCHC-type zinc finger is essential for the interaction with GATA-type zinc fingers (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in ZFPM2 may be a cause of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) [MIM:187500]. TOF is a congenital heart anomaly which consists of pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, dextroposition of the aorta (aorta is on the right side instead of the left) and hypertrophy of the right ventricle. This condition results in a blue baby at birth due to inadequate oxygenation. Surgical correction is emergent. DISEASE: Defects in ZFPM2 are the cause of diaphragmatic hernia 3 (DIH3) [MIM:610187]; a form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). CDH refers to a group of congenital defects in the structural integrity of the diaphragm associated with often lethal pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the FOG (Friend of GATA) family. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 C2H2-type zinc fingers. SIMILARITY: Contains 5 C2HC-type zinc fingers.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
