Facts about PR domain zinc finger protein 14.
May play a vital role in germ cell development at two levels: the reacquisition of potential pluripotency, including SOX2 up-regulation, and effective epigenetic reprogramming, characterized by EHMT1 repression. Its association with CBFA2T2 is needed for the functions in pluripotency and germ cell formation (By similarity).
