Summary

ZBTB25 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 25, HGNC:13112) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.3, encoding Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 25 (P24278). May be involved in transcriptional regulation.

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of immune system process. Located in nucleoplasm.
