These DNA regions encode a cluster of zinc finger proteins. A detailed comparison of the human gene sequences to their murine orthologs will allow better understanding of the regulation, evolution and functional diversification of these proteins.
DNA binding motif: Common sites on different proteins which facilitate their binding to DNA. Examples are leucine zipper and zinc finger proteins. Any such protein is called DNA-binding protein.
RBM2 (RNA binding motif protein 2) SRY (sex-determining region) TDF (testis determining factor) TSPY (testis-specific protein) UTY (ubiquitously transcribed TPR gene on Y chromosome) ZFY (zinc finger protein) ...
