HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: ZNF44
Cytogenetic location: 19p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:12,224,686-12,294,883 (from NCBI)
Bray et al. (1991) screened a placental genomic library at moderate stringency with a degenerate oligodeoxynucleotide probe designed to hybridize to the his/cys (H/C) link region between adjoining zinc fingers. Genomic clones were cross-hybridized with a set of 30 zinc finger-encoding cDNAs (KOX1-KOX30) isolated from a human T-cell cDNA library. KOX7 matched one of the genomic clones.
Bray et al. (1991) mapped the ZNF44 gene to chromosome 16p11 by chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization with fluorescent probe detection. However, Gross (2011) mapped the ZNF44 gene to chromosome 19p13.2 based on an alignment of the ZNF44 sequence (GenBank BC136502) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).
