description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within genomic imprinting. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb segment. Orthologous to human ZDBF2 (zinc finger DBF-type containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a modified isoform encoding allele exhibit impaired methylation of the somatic differentially methylated region of the gene and decreased body weight and size when inherited paternally.
