Zinc fingers and homeoboxes protein 2 (ZHX2)

Acts as a transcriptional repressor (PubMed:12741956). Represses the promoter activity of the CDC25C gene stimulated by NFYA (PubMed:12741956).

May play a role in retinal development where it modulates the composition of bipolar cell populations, by promoting differentiation of bipolar OFF-type cells (By similarity). In the brain, may promote maintenance and suppress differentiation of neural progenitor cells in the developing cortex (By similarity).
