Zinc Finger Protein 683 (ZNF683)

Zinc Finger Protein 683 (ZNF683)
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 occur in nature as the part of transcription factors conferring DNA sequence specificity as the DNA-binding domain.
Zinc finger protein 683 () is a 509 amino acid member of the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc finger protein family. Localized to the nucleus, ZNF683 contains four C2H2-type zinc fingers through which it is thought to be involved in DNA-binding and transcriptional regulation. Two isoforms of ZNF683 exist as a result of alternative splicing events. May be involved in transcriptional regulation.
