The members of the zinc fingers and homeoboxes gene family
are nuclear homodimeric transcriptional repressors that interact
with the A subunit of nuclear factor-Y (NF-YA) and contain two
C2H2-type zinc fingers and five homeobox DNA-binding domains. This
gene encodes member 1 of this gene family. In addition to forming
homodimers, this protein heterodimerizes with members 2 and 3 of
the zinc fingers and homeoboxes family. Alternative splicing
results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
