Facts about Zinc finger homeobox protein 3.
In concert with SMAD- dependent TGF-beta signaling can repress the transcription of AFP via its interaction with SMAD2/3 (PubMed:25105025). Regulates the circadian locomotor rhythms through transcriptional activation of neuropeptidergic genes that are essential for intercellular synchrony and rhythm amplitude in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain (By similarity).

| Location: | 16q22.2-q22.3 |
| Sequence: | 16; NC_000016.10 (72782885..73891931, complement) |
Not found in normal gastric mucosa but found in gastric carcinoma cells (at protein level). Expression is higher in ER-positive breast tumors than ER-negative breast tumors (at protein level).
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus following TGF-beta stimulation. Expressed in nuclear body (NB)-like dots in the nucleus some of which overlap or closely associate with PML body.
