Leucine-zipper-like transcriptional regulator 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LZTR1 gene.
This gene encodes a member of the BTB-kelch superfamily. Initially described as a putative transcriptional regulator based on weak homology to members of the basic leucine zipper-like family, the encoded protein subsequently has been shown to localize exclusively to the Golgi network where it may help stabilize the Golgi complex.
Clinical significance
Deletion of this gene may be associated with DiGeorge syndrome.
This gene has also been implicated in an autosomal dominant form of schwannomatosis.
