Facts about Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 7B.
Necessary and sufficient for commitment of CD4 lineage, while its absence causes CD8 commitment. Development of immature T-cell precursors (thymocytes) to either the CD4 helper or CD8 killer T- cell lineages correlates precisely with their T-cell receptor specificity for major histocompatibility complex class II or class I molecules, respectively.

Widely expressed, with a higher level in skin. Expressed in thymus. Restricted to CD4 cells (mature single positive CD4(+) and intermediate CD4(+)CD8(+) cells). Expressed in the luminal epithelial cells in the mammary glands where is up- regulated at late pregnancy and lactation (PubMed:29420538). Expression is enriched in brown fat (PubMed:28784777).
