Histone H4 transcription factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HINFP gene.^[3][4]

Function

MIZF interacts with methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MBD2; MIM 603547), a component of the MeCP1 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, and plays a role in DNA methylation and transcription repression.[supplied by OMIM]^[4]

Interactions

MIZF has been shown to interact with Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2^[3] and DHX9.^[5]
