The protein encoded by this gene appears to be a zinc finger protein containing a transposase domain at the C-terminus.

This protein was found to interact with the transcription factor SP1 in a yeast two-hybrid system. At least three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.[6]

The CHAMP1 protein complex consisting of CHAMP1, POGZ and HPIα promotes heterochromatin assembly at multiple chromosomal sites, and also promotes homology-directed DNA repair of DNA double-strand breaks in these regions.[7]

Clinical significance

Heterozygous mutation of POGZ causes White-Sutton syndrome.[8]
