ZNF821
Description
The ZNF821 (zinc finger protein 821) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
ZNF821, also known as Zinc Finger Protein 821, is a protein encoded by the ZNF821 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 16 and is highly expressed in the testes, moderately expressed in the brain, and shows low expression in 23 other tissues. The protein is 412 amino acids long and contains two Zinc Finger motifs (C2H2 type) and a 23 amino acid long STPR domain. The ZNF821 gene spans 35,657 bases from base 71,893,583 to 71,929,239 on the minus strand. It contains 8 exons and is located in close proximity to four other genes: ATXNL1, IST1, PKD1L3, and AP1G1. The transcription of ZNF821 is regulated by the promoter GXP_9784938, which is 539 bases long and located from base 71,884,046 to 71,884,585. This promoter region starts 404 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. ZNF821 is highly expressed in the testes, with expression levels almost 2.5 times higher than in the brain, the second highest expression site. Expression in the brain is primarily observed during fetal development, with lower levels in the cerebellum.
ZNF821 is also known as -.
