MIZF
Introduction
MBD2-interacting zinc finger, also known as MIZF, is a human gene.[1]
MIZF interacts with methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MBD2; MIM 603547), a component of the MeCP1 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, and plays a role in DNA methylation and transcription repression.[supplied by OMIM][1]
