ZNF408
Description
The ZNF408 gene encodes a zinc finger protein that plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and controlling cell growth. ZNF408 acts as a transcription factor, binding to specific DNA sequences and influencing the expression of target genes. Its expression is tightly controlled and varies depending on cell type and developmental stage. Dysregulation of ZNF408 has been implicated in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancer.
Associated Diseases
- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., Systemic lupus erythematosus, Rheumatoid arthritis)
- Cancer (e.g., Breast cancer, Prostate cancer, Lung cancer)
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Neurological disorders
Did you know?
ZNF408 has been found to be highly expressed in immune cells, suggesting its importance in immune regulation.
