ZC3H4 zinc finger CCCH-type containing 4

Gene ID: 23211, updated on 12-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: C19orf7

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of CCCH (C-x8-C-x5-C-x3-H type) zinc finger domain-containing proteins. These zinc finger domains, which coordinate zinc finger binding and are characterized by three cysteine residues and one histidine residue, are nucleic acid-binding. Other family members are known to function in post-transcriptional regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
