Abstract

The function of ZNHIT2 is not known. Homologues are known from animals, plants and fungi, and each contains a HIT-type zinc finger. The human gene (also known as C11orf5) is part of the FAUNA cluster, and is highly expressed in the testis, particularly the lumen of seminiferous tubules, suggesting it is highly expressed in germ cells of different developmental stages [ 1 ].
