REST is a transcriptional repressor which represses neuronal genes in non-neuronal tissues. It is a member of the Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor family. It represses transcription by binding a DNA sequence element called the neuron-restrictive silencer element. The protein is also found in undifferentiated neuronal progenitor cells, and it is thought that this repressor may act as a master negative regular of neurogenesis.This gene encodes a transcriptional repressor which represses neuronal genes in non-neuronal tissues.

Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described; however, their full length nature has not been determined.
