Generic protein structure example

Myeloid zinc finger 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MZF1 gene.[1][2]

Interactions

MZF1 has been shown to interact with SCAND1.[3] In 2014, the laboratory of Nathan H. Lents showed that MZF-1 induces the GAPDH gene, something that must be considered when GAPDH is used as a loading control in experiments that may induce or perturb MZF-1.[4] The same group later showed that MZF-1 induces CTGF and NOV, two members of the CCN gene family.[5]
