Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf36|MTF1|MYTI|NZF2|PLPB1|ZC2H2C1|ZC2HC4A

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of neural specific, zinc finger-containing DNA-binding proteins. The protein binds to the promoter regions of proteolipid proteins of the central nervous system and plays a role in the developing nervous system.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q13.33

Description of this Gene: myelin transcription factor 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
