Summary
ZGLP1 (zinc finger GATA like protein 1, HGNC:37245) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.2, encoding GATA-type zinc finger protein 1 (P0C6A0). Transcriptional regulator that plays a key role in germ cell development.
ZGLP1 encodes an evolutionary conserved transcriptional regulator with GATA-like zinc fingers. In females, it is expressed in embryonic germ cells and is essential for oogenic fate determination. It acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and is involved in the regulation of genes involved in RNA processing, transcription and chromatin modification, retrotransposon regulation, meiotic cell cycle, and oocyte development. In males it is not required for the germ cell sex determination but is required by the spermatogonia for efficiently completing the meiotic prophase.

Function. Transcriptional regulator that plays a key role in germ cell development. Determines the oogenic fate by activating key genes for the oogenic program and meiotic prophase entry. Acts downstream of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) by regulating expression of genes required for the oogenic programs, which are repressed by Polycomb activities in sexually uncommitted germ cells. Regulates expression of STRA8, a central downstream effector for the meiotic program. Acts independently of retinoic acid (RA). In males, not required for germ-cell sex determination, but required to allow the spermatogonia to efficiently accomplish the meiotic prophase.
