ZNF423

Description

The ZNF423 gene, located on chromosome 17, encodes a protein known as zinc finger protein 423. This protein plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and cell cycle regulation. ZNF423 interacts with other proteins and DNA sequences, contributing to the intricate mechanisms that govern cell growth and development. Dysregulation of ZNF423 has been implicated in a number of diseases, highlighting its significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
