Leucine zipper transcription factor like 1 also known as LZTFL1 is a ubiquitously expressed protein which localizes to the cytoplasm and in humans is encoded by the LZTFL1gene.[5]
Identified as the gene on chromosome 3 at location 3p21.31 responsible for mediating an associated with genetic susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection[10] and COVID-19 respiratory failure.[11][12] The DNA segment conferring the risk is inherited from Neanderthals.[13]
