GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CXXC5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HSPC195, RINF, WID
Description
CXXC finger protein 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a retinoid-inducible nuclear protein containing a CXXC-type zinc finger motif. The encoded protein is involved in myelopoiesis, is required for DNA damage-induced p53 activation, regulates the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts into myocytes, and negatively regulates cutaneous wound healing. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
