The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the leucine zipper tumor suppressor family of proteins, which function in transcription regulation and cell cycle control. This family member can repress beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation and is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. It negatively regulates microtubule severing at centrosomes, and is necessary for central spindle formation and cytokinesis completion. It is implicated in cancer, where it may inhibit cell proliferation and decrease susceptibility to tumor development. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

A study in human neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) demonstrated that the LZTS2 was a top differentially expressed gene associated with adverse outcome in the high-income country cohort, where it was significantly downregulated (log2 fold change, −0.96) [Montaldo et al. DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.54433]. This gene interacts with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and is known to be upregulated in cancer-induced hypoxia, indicating its role in the cellular response to acute hypoxic stress.
