PRDM12 in Health and Diseases
PRDM12 is a member of the PRDI-BF1 (positive regulatory domain I-binding factor 1) homologous domain (PRDM)-containing protein family, a subfamily of Kruppel-like zinc finger proteins, controlling key processes in the development of cancer. <i>PRDM12</i> is expressed in a spatio-temporal...
