This gene encodes a zinc-finger protein, and belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. It may be involved in transcriptional regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: Transcriptional regulator that binds to the promoter and activates the transcription of genes promoting brown adipose tissue (BAT) differentiation. Among brown adipose tissue-specific genes, binds the proximal region of the promoter of the UCP1 gene to activate its transcription and thereby regulate thermogenesis (By similarity). May also play a role in the cellular response to replication stress (PubMed:23446422). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TSH3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23446422}.
