PRDM5 Proteins and Enzymes

Official Gene Symbol PRDM5 Gene ID 11107(Human) Gene Map Locus 4q25-q26(Human) PRDM5, a novel member of PR domain protein family, contains a PR-domain at the NH2 terminus followed by 16 zinc finger motifs. It is found to have a role in cell differentiation and tumorigenesis. Reports suggest PRDM5 causes G2/M arrest and apoptosis upon infection of tumor cells and has been found to be silenced in breast, ovarian and lung cancers, suggesting a potential clinical significance.
