Generic protein structure example

Zinc finger protein 423 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF423 gene.[1][2][3]

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that belongs to the family of Kruppel-like C2H2 zinc finger proteins. It functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor by using distinct zinc fingers in different signaling pathways. Thus, it is thought that this gene may have multiple roles in signal transduction during development.[3] Mice lacking the homologous gene Zfp423 have defects in midline brain development, especially in the cerebellum,[4][5][6] as well as defects in olfactory development,[7] and adipogenesis.[8][9] Patients with mutations in ZNF423 have been reported in Joubert Syndrome and nephronophthisis.[10]

Interactions

ZNF423 has been shown to interact with EBF1,[11] PARP1,[12] Notch intracellular domain,[13] retinoic acid receptor,[14] and CEP290.[10]
