YINF1

YINF1, also known as Zinc Finger Protein 1, is a protein encoded by the YINF1 gene. This gene is found in humans and other mammals. The protein YINF1 plays a role in cellular processes related to DNA replication and repair. It is a member of the zinc finger protein family, characterized by the presence of zinc ions that stabilize specific protein structures.

Research suggests that YINF1 is involved in maintaining genomic stability. It interacts with other proteins that are crucial for managing DNA damage and ensuring that genetic information is accurately copied during cell division. Dysregulation or mutation of the YINF1 gene has been implicated in certain diseases, though the exact mechanisms are still under investigation.

Studies have explored the expression patterns of YINF1 in various tissues and cell types. Its functional significance is an active area of scientific inquiry, with ongoing efforts to fully elucidate its precise molecular functions and its contribution to cellular health and disease pathogenesis. The development of tools to study YINF1's activity and interactions is helping to advance our understanding of its biological role.
