Loss of zinc-finger protein 212 leads to Purkinje cell death and locomotive abnormalities with phospholipase D3 downregulation

Abstract Although Krüppel-associated box domain-containing zinc-finger proteins (K-ZNFs) may be associated with sophisticated gene regulation in higher organisms, the physiological functions of most K-ZNFs remain unknown. The Zfp212 protein was highly conserved in mammals and abundant in the brain;...
