Zinc Finger Protein 559 (ZNF559)

Zinc Finger Protein 559 (ZNF559)
Zinc finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. The majority of zinc finger proteins contain a Krüppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which is thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. They have also found use in protein engineering due to their modularity and have prospects as components of tools for use in therapeutic gene modulation and zinc finger nucleases
Zinc finger protein 559 () is a 538 amino acid member of the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc finger protein family. Localized to the nucleus, ZNF212 contains thirteen C2H2-type zinc fingers and one KRAB domain through which it is thought to be involved in DNA-binding and transcriptional regulation.
