Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB domain. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein may function as a transcriptional repressor.[5]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the ZFP57 gene may be associated with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus.[6]
