[5] This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator with bimodal DNA-binding specificity, which binds to methylated CGCG and also to the non-methylated consensus KAISO-binding site TCCTGCNA.
The protein contains an N-terminal POZ/BTB domain and 3 C-terminal zinc finger motifs.
Its interaction with catenin delta-1 (CTNND1) inhibits binding to both methylated and non-methylated DNA.
Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.
