Summary
CXXC1 (CXXC finger protein 1, HGNC:24343) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q21.1, encoding CXXC-type zinc finger protein 1 (Q9P0U4). Transcriptional activator that exhibits a unique DNA binding specificity for CpG unmethylated motifs with a preference for CpGG. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 31.3% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional activator that binds specifically to non-methylated CpG motifs through its CXXC domain. The protein is a component of the SETD1 complex, regulates gene expression and is essential for vertebrate development.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 121 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
