ZBTB49

Chr 4

zinc finger and BTB domain containing 49

Also known as: ZNF509

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
