ZMYND15
Description
ZMYND15, also known as MYND-type zinc finger protein 15, is a gene that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression and cellular development. This gene encodes a protein that contains a MYND domain, a zinc finger motif involved in protein-protein interactions. ZMYND15 is involved in various cellular processes, including transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA damage response. It interacts with a range of transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes, influencing the accessibility of DNA for transcription. Aberrant expression or mutations in ZMYND15 have been linked to several human diseases, highlighting its significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer)
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder)
- Immune system disorders (e.g., autoimmune diseases)
Did you know?
ZMYND15 is highly expressed in the brain, suggesting its potential role in neuronal development and function.
