Zinc finger protein 780a

Zinc finger protein 780a, also known as ZNF780A, is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19 in humans. This gene encodes a zinc finger protein that plays a role in transcriptional regulation and DNA binding.

Function

Zinc finger proteins are a class of proteins that contain zinc finger domains, which are specialized protein motifs that bind to specific DNA sequences. ZNF780A is thought to be involved in regulating gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences and influencing transcriptional activity.

Structure

ZNF780A contains multiple zinc finger domains, which are responsible for its DNA-binding activity. These domains allow ZNF780A to interact with specific DNA sequences and modulate gene expression.

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the ZNF780A gene have been associated with certain genetic disorders and diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these mutations on human health.
