BZW1 explained

Basic leucine zipper and W2 domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BZW1 gene and expressed in the nucleus.^{[1] [2] [3]} It enables RNA and cadherin binding activity.^[4]

Salivary gland carcinoma and eastern equine encephalitis are associated with BZW1.

Interactions

BZW1 has been shown to interact with PSTPIP1^[5] and CDC5L.^[6]
