ZNF142
Description
ZNF142, also known as zinc finger protein 142, is a gene that encodes a protein involved in various cellular processes. Its protein product contains multiple zinc finger domains, which are DNA-binding motifs that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. ZNF142 has been implicated in diverse biological functions, including cell growth, differentiation, and development. Its expression pattern is tissue-specific, suggesting its involvement in various developmental and physiological processes. The protein encoded by ZNF142 interacts with a range of other proteins, forming complex regulatory networks within the cell. Research on this gene continues to unravel its complex roles in human health and disease.
