Genome-wide survey and expression profiling of CCCH-zinc finger family reveals a functional module in macrophage activation.

Previously, we have identified a novel CCCH zinc finger protein family as negative regulators of macrophage activation. To gain an overall insight into the entire CCCH zinc finger gene family and to evaluate their potential role in macrophage activation, here we performed a genome-wide survey of CCC...
