Facts about Zinc finger protein 304.
Also required to keep a transcriptionally repressive state of genes in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by inducing trimethylation of'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me3) (PubMed:24623306) in a Polycomb group (PcG) complexes-dependent method. Associates in promoter regions of TSGs and mediates the recruitment of the corepressor complex containing the scaffolding protein TRIM28, methyltransferase DNMT1 and histone methyltransferase SETDB1 and/or the PcG complexes in those sites (PubMed:24623306).
