Background

ZSCAN10 (Zinc Finger And SCAN Domain Containing 10) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Nervous system development and Transcriptional regulation of pluripotent stem cells. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is ZNF33B. Embryonic stem (ES) cell-specific transcription factor required to maintain ES cell pluripotency. Can both activate and /or repress expression of target genes, depending on the context. Specifically binds the 5'-[GA]CGCNNGCG[CT]-3' DNA consensus sequence. Regulates expression of POU5F1/OCT4, ZSCAN4 and ALYREF/THOC4. ( ZSC10_HUMAN,Q96SZ4 )
