Zinc Finger Protein 134 (ZNF134)

Transcriptional regulatory proteins containing tandemly repeated zinc finger domains are thought to be involved in both normal and abnormal cellular proliferation and differentiation. One abundant class of such transcriptional regulators resembles the Drosophila Kruppel segmentation gene product due to the presence of repeated Cys2-His2 (C2H2) zinc finger domains that are connected by conserved sequences, called H/C links.

Tommerup and Vissing (1995) performed sequence analysis on a number of these cDNAs and identified several novel zinc finger protein genes, including ZNF134. The ZNF134 cDNA predicts a 348-amino acid (GenBank U09412) Kruppel-type zinc finger protein that lacks a KRAB domain.
