CXXC5
Molecular classification
Transcription factor
01

Overview

CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5) is a transcription factor involved in various developmental processes, including myelopoiesis, endothelial differentiation, and oligodendrocyte differentiation. It acts as a negative regulator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by interacting with Dishevelled (Dvl). Dysregulation of CXXC5 is associated with diseases like osteoporosis, alopecia, and impaired wound healing. It binds to unmethylated CpG dinucleotides via its CXXC domain, influencing epigenetic regulation. Recent studies implicate it in breast carcinogenesis.
