Facts about Zinc finger protein 521.
Associates with SMADs in response to BMP2 leading to activate transcription of BMP target genes. Acts as a transcriptional repressor via its interaction with EBF1, a transcription factor involved specification of B-cell lineage; this interaction preventing EBF1 to bind DNA and activate target genes.

Predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Present in organs and tissues that contain stem and progenitor cells, myeloid and/or lymphoid: placenta, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow and fetal liver. Within the hematopoietic system, it is abundant in CD34(+) cells but undetectable in mature peripheral blood leukocytes, and its levels rapidly decrease during the differentiation of CD34(+) cells in response to hemopoietins.
