Generic protein structure example

Zinc finger protein 398 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF398 gene.[1]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the Kruppel family of C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor proteins. The encoded protein acts as a transcriptional activator. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Other transcript variants have been described, but their full length sequence has not been determined.
