ZSCAN10 (Zinc Finger And SCAN Domain Containing 10) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells and Developmental Biology. GO annotations related to this gene include transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding and sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is MZF1. Embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to maintain ES cell pluripotency. Can both activate and /or repress expression of target genes, depending on the context. Specifically binds the 5-[GA]CGCNNGCG[CT]-3 DNA consensus sequence. Regulates expression of POU5F1/OCT4, ZSCAN4 and ALYREF/THOC4 (By similarity).
