disease:Defects in CNBP are the cause of myotonic dystrophy 2 (DM2) [MIM:602668]; also known as proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM). DM2 is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by myotonia. DM2 is caused by a CCTG expansion (mean approximately 5000 repeats) located in intron 1 of the CNBP gene.,function:Single stranded DNA-binding protein, with specificity to the sterol regulatory element (SRE). Involved in sterol-mediated repression.,similarity:Contains 7 CCHC-type zinc fingers.,tissue specificity:Present in all tissues examined.,
