NCIt synonyms : CDKN1A-Interacting Zinc Finger Protein 1; Nuclear Protein NP94; Zinc Finger Protein 356; CIZ1;
NCIt definition : Cip1-interacting zinc finger protein (898 aa, 100 kDa) is encoded by the human CIZ1
gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of both cyclin-dependent kinase
inhibitor 1 protein localization and DNA replication.;
NCIt note : The expression of a newly described variant form of Cip1-interacting zinc finger protein,
which has an in-frame deletion of eight amino acids (758-765; VEEELCKQ), may be a
biomarker for early-stage lung cancer. (PNAS. 2012; 109:E3128-E3135 .);
