ZNF330

ZNF330 or Zinc Finger Protein 330 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF330 gene. The ZNF330 gene is located on chromosome 19 and is approximately 15.3 kilobases in length. The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein and contains two C2H2-type zinc fingers, indicating that it may function as a transcription factor.

Function

ZNF330 is a nuclear protein that functions as a transcriptional repressor. It is thought to play a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The exact function of ZNF330, however, is still not fully understood and is the subject of ongoing research.

Clinical Significance

Alterations in the ZNF330 gene have been associated with various types of cancer, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer. It is thought that the protein may act as a tumor suppressor, preventing the growth of cancer cells. However, more research is needed to fully understand the role of ZNF330 in cancer development and progression.

Research

Research into the function and clinical significance of ZNF330 is ongoing. Current research is focused on understanding the role of ZNF330 in cell growth and differentiation, as well as its potential role in cancer development and progression.
