ZBTB42
Description
ZBTB42, also known as Zinc Finger and BTB Domain Containing 42, is a gene that encodes a protein playing a crucial role in regulating gene expression. The protein contains a zinc finger domain, which binds to DNA, and a BTB domain, involved in protein-protein interactions. This allows ZBTB42 to act as a transcription factor, influencing the activity of other genes. The gene is expressed in various tissues during development and in adult life, suggesting its involvement in multiple biological processes. Dysregulation of ZBTB42 has been implicated in several diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
