ZNF182

ZNF182 is a gene that encodes for a zinc finger protein 182. It is located on chromosome 19q13.43 in humans.

Zinc finger proteins are a large family of proteins that contain one or more zinc finger motifs. These motifs are characterized by a loop of amino acids held together by a zinc ion. Zinc finger proteins are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes, including DNA binding, RNA binding, protein-protein interactions, and transcriptional regulation.

While the precise function of ZNF182 is not fully elucidated, it is believed to be involved in transcriptional regulation due to its zinc finger structure. Its expression patterns and potential interacting partners suggest roles in development and/or cellular differentiation. Further research is needed to fully understand the specific roles of ZNF182 in biological processes and its potential involvement in diseases.

It is sometimes referred to by alternate names or symbols, including, but not limited to: KOX16. The gene has been studied in various contexts, including genome-wide association studies, although its specific contributions in these contexts require further investigation. The protein product encoded by ZNF182 is predicted to be a transcription factor.
