FAM170A
Description
The FAM170A (family with sequence similarity 170 member A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
FAM170A acts as a nuclear transcription factor, specifically promoting the expression of genes involved in the heat shock response. This protein achieves this by directly binding to heat shock promoter elements (HSE) within the DNA.
FAM170A is also known as ZNFD.
