UniProt Summary: Probable transcription repressor. Specifically binds to the 3'-end of zinc-finger coding genes and recruiting chromatin- modifying proteins such as SETDB1 and TRIM28/KAP1, leading to transcription repression. The SETDB1-TRIM28-ZNF274 complex may play a role in recruiting ATRX to the 3'-exons of zinc-finger coding genes with atypical chromatin signatures to establish or maintain/protect H3K9me3 at these transcriptionally active regions (PubMed:27029610). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10777669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27029610}.
