Summary
PLAGL1 (PLAG1 like zinc finger 1, HGNC:9046) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q24.2, encoding Zinc finger protein PLAGL1 (Q9UM63). Acts as a transcriptional activator.
This gene encodes a C2H2 zinc finger protein that functions as a suppressor of cell growth. This gene is often deleted or methylated and silenced in cancer cells. In addition, overexpression of this gene during fetal development is thought to be the causal factor for transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM). Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding two different protein isoforms. The P1 downstream promoter of this gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the paternal allele in many tissues.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Diabetes mellitus, transient neonatal, 1 (TNDM1) [MIM:601410] An autosomal dominant form of diabetes mellitus defined by the onset of mild-to-severe hyperglycemia within the first month of life. In about half of the neonates, diabetes is transient and resolves at a median age of 3 months, whereas the rest have a permanent form of diabetes. The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis. Imprinted expression of PLAGL1 is relaxed in patients with transient neonatal diabetes (TND). Aberrant hypomethylation of the TND differentially methylated region within the PLAGL1 promoter as well as other imprinted loci at chromosome 6q24 is caused by ZFP57 mutations.
Similarity. Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.

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.
