ZNF830

ZNF830 is a gene that encodes a zinc finger protein. It is located on chromosome 19q13.43 in humans. The precise function of ZNF830 is not fully elucidated, but zinc finger proteins, in general, are known to be involved in a variety of cellular processes, including DNA binding, transcriptional regulation, RNA binding, protein folding, and signal transduction. They often act as transcription factors, regulating the expression of other genes.

Gene Information:

• Symbol: ZNF830
• Aliases: None widely recognized.
• Chromosome Location: 19q13.43 (human)
• Gene Size: Variable depending on transcript variant.
• Protein Length: Variable depending on isoform.

Protein Information:

The ZNF830 protein contains multiple zinc finger domains, specifically of the C2H2 type. These zinc finger domains are characterized by a conserved sequence containing two cysteine residues and two histidine residues, which coordinate a zinc ion. This coordination stabilizes the protein's structure and allows it to interact with DNA or RNA. The number of zinc finger domains present in ZNF830 varies between different protein isoforms.

Function:

While the exact biological role of ZNF830 remains under investigation, based on its zinc finger domain structure, it is hypothesized to function as a DNA-binding protein and potentially regulate gene expression. Research suggests it may be involved in developmental processes and cellular differentiation. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its specific target genes and downstream effects.

Expression:

The expression pattern of ZNF830 varies across different tissues and developmental stages. Some studies have reported its expression in multiple tissues, while others suggest a more restricted expression profile. Further research is required to determine the precise tissue distribution and expression levels of ZNF830 under various physiological and pathological conditions.

Clinical Significance:

Currently, there is limited information available regarding the clinical significance of ZNF830. Mutations or dysregulation of ZNF830 expression might potentially be associated with certain diseases or developmental disorders. However, further research is necessary to establish a definitive link between ZNF830 and any specific human diseases. Further studies are required to investigate the potential role of ZNF830 in disease pathogenesis and its potential as a therapeutic target.
