This gene encodes a member of the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger family of proteins. The encoded protein, a component of the U7 snRNP complex, plays a role in histone 3'-end pre-mRNA processing and may be required for cell cycle progression to S phase. Expression level and methylation status of this gene may be correlated with bone mineral density. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016].
