ZCCHC6

ZCCHC6, also known as zinc finger CCHC-type containing 6, is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19q13.2. It is a member of the CCHC zinc finger family, which is characterized by the presence of a conserved cysteine, cysteine, histidine, and cysteine (CCHC) motif. This motif is involved in protein-protein interactions and DNA binding.

The ZCCHC6 gene encodes a protein that plays a role in various cellular processes, including transcription regulation, DNA repair, and cell cycle control. It has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. For instance, ZCCHC6 has been found to be overexpressed in certain types of cancer, such as breast and ovarian cancer, and is associated with poor prognosis.

In addition to its role in disease, ZCCHC6 has also been studied for its potential as a therapeutic target. For example, small molecule inhibitors of ZCCHC6 have been developed and shown to have anti-cancer activity in preclinical models. However, further research is needed to fully understand the role of ZCCHC6 in health and disease and to develop effective therapies based on its modulation.
