    basic FUNCTION
  • cardiac nuclear hormone receptor corepressor protein (Rouf 2008)
  • development of coronary vasculature from epicardium
  • with GATA4 in the early pulmonary mesenchyme participate in patterning the secondary bronchus of the accessory lobe) (Ackerman 2007)
  • its function is required for correct progression of preadipocyte differentiation . plays a role in the regulation of early adipogenesis
  • plays a role in the regulation of early adipogenesis
  • transcriptional cofactor involved mostly in cardiac function
  • ZFPM2 plays a role in cardiac development by acting as a transcriptional cofactor that interacts with GATA4
  • unlike GATA1, which inhibits cell division, ZFPM2 promotes proliferation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • activator of GATA4 gene expression during cardiac development and other GATA genes expression, bind to the N-terminal zinc finger of GATA4 and, via this interaction, repress GATA4-mediated transcriptional activation of various cardiac promoters
  • corepressor of GATA5 through interaction with CTPB2
  • bind to GATA factors and function as transcriptional co-repressors in specific cell and promoter contexts
  • intreacting with SERCA2 (SERCA2 is an important target and increased ZFPM2 expression may contribute to a decline in cardiac function in end-stage heart failure by impaired T3 signaling) (Rouf 2008)
  • LHX9 gene represents the first direct target of the GATA4/ZFPM2 repressor complex in cardiac development
  • cardiac expression of TNNT1 strictly depends on the physical interaction between GATA4-ZFPM2 in the myocardium of both atria and ventricles
  • GATA4 may alter the activity of ZFPM2 by influencing its SUMOylation status
  • sex determination requires interaction between the transcription factor GATA4 and its cofactor ZFPM2
  • ZFPM2 is a multi-zinc finger protein that binds the transcriptional activator GATA4 and modulates GATA4-mediated regulation of target genes during heart development
  • ZFPM2/NuRD interaction is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation by directly down-regulating the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN1A during heart development
  • novel function of hepatic ZFPM2 in insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism through PPARA
