CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that can both act as an activator or a
CC repressor depending on the context. Plays a central role in BMP
CC signaling and olfactory neurogenesis. Associates with SMADs in response
CC to BMP2 leading to activate transcription of BMP target genes. Acts as
CC a transcriptional repressor via its interaction with EBF1, a
CC transcription factor involved in terminal olfactory receptor neurons
CC differentiation; this interaction preventing EBF1 to bind DNA and
CC activate olfactory-specific genes. Involved in olfactory neurogenesis
CC by participating in a developmental switch that regulates the
CC transition from differentiation to maturation in olfactory receptor
CC neurons. Controls proliferation and differentiation of neural
CC precursors in cerebellar vermis formation.

CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:17521568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17524391}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with SMAD1 and SMAD4.
CC Interacts with EBF1 (By similarity). Interacts with PARP1. Interacts
CC with CEP290 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.

CC Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2;

CC IsoId=Q80TS5-1; Sequence=Displayed;
CC Name=2;
CC IsoId=Q80TS5-2; Sequence=VSP_029008;
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Within the cerebellum, Zfp423 is expressed in both
CC ventricular and external germinal zones. Transiently expressed in newly
CC differentiating olfactory-receptor neurons.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16943432, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17151198,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:17521568}.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: During embryogenesis, it is highly expressed at
CC the dorsal neuroepithelium flanking the roof plate.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17524391}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: Uses different DNA- and protein-binding zinc fingers to
CC regulate the distinct BMP-Smad and Olf signaling pathways. C2H2-type
CC zinc fingers 14-19 mediate the interaction with SMAD1 and SMAD4, while
CC zinc fingers 28-30 mediate the interaction with EBF1. zinc fingers 2-8
CC bind the 5'-CCGCCC-3' DNA sequence in concert with EBF1, while zinc
CC fingers 9-13 bind BMP target gene promoters in concert with SMADs (By
CC similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice are runted and ataxic, the cerebellum is
CC underdeveloped, and the vermis is severely reduced, resulting in
CC diminished proliferation by granule cell precursors in the external
CC germinal layer, especially near the midline, and abnormal
CC differentiation and migration of ventricular zone-derived neurons and
CC Bergmann glia. In the remaining cerebellar structures, the Purkinje
CC cells are poorly developed and mislocalized.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16943432, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17151198}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Znf423 gene is a frequent target of retroviral
CC integration in murine B-cell lymphomas.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein
CC family. {ECO:0000305}.
