ZNF208 zinc finger protein 208

Gene ID: 7757, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PMIDP; ZNF95

Summary

Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs), such as ZNF208, bind DNA and, through this binding, regulate gene transcription. Most ZNFs contain conserved C2H2 motifs and are classified as Kruppel-type zinc fingers. A conserved protein motif, termed the Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain, mediates protein-protein interactions (Eichler et al., 1998 [PubMed 9724325]). See ZNF91 (MIM 603971) for further information on ZNFs.[supplied by OMIM, Aug 2009]
