Zinc finger protein Helios is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IKZF2 gene.This gene encodes a member of the Ikaros family of zinc-finger proteins. Three members of this protein family (Ikaros Aiolos and Helios) are hematopoietic-specific transcription factors involved in the regulation of lymphocyte development. This protein forms homo- or hetero-dimers with other Ikaros family members and is thought to function predominantly in early hematopoietic development.
