ZNF664

ZNF664 is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19 in humans. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including gene regulation and development. This gene encodes a zinc finger protein that contains multiple C2H2-type zinc finger domains, which are known for their DNA-binding properties.

Function[edit | edit source]

The ZNF664 protein is involved in transcriptional regulation by binding to specific DNA sequences and modulating the expression of target genes. It interacts with other proteins and regulatory elements to control gene activity in a cell-specific manner. Studies have shown that ZNF664 is essential for normal development and cellular homeostasis.

Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]

Mutations in the ZNF664 gene have been associated with certain genetic disorders and diseases. Dysregulation of ZNF664 expression has been linked to abnormal cell growth, differentiation, and disease progression. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of ZNF664 dysfunction in human health.
