AZA3

AZA3, also known as Zinc Finger And BTB Domain Containing 3, is a protein-coding gene found in humans. The gene is located on chromosome 13. AZA3 belongs to the Krüppel-type zinc-finger protein family, which are characterized by the presence of zinc-finger motifs that are involved in DNA binding and protein-protein interactions. The BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack, and Bric-a-brac) domain is another key feature of this protein family, often playing a role in protein dimerization and transcriptional regulation.

The AZA3 protein is thought to function as a transcription factor, meaning it can bind to specific DNA sequences and influence the expression of other genes. Its precise biological roles are still under investigation, but research suggests involvement in various cellular processes. Studies have indicated potential associations with development and disease, though further research is needed to fully elucidate these connections. The gene's expression pattern and the cellular localization of the AZA3 protein are also areas of ongoing scientific inquiry. Understanding the function of AZA3 is crucial for comprehending its contribution to normal biological processes and its potential implications in pathological conditions.
