ZC3H4

RNA-binding protein that suppresses transcription of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). LncRNAs are defined as transcripts more than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into protein. Together with WDR82, part of a transcription termination checkpoint that promotes transcription termination of lncRNAs and their subsequent degradation by the exosome. The transcription termination checkpoint is activated by the inefficiently spliced first exon of lncRNAs..
