ZNF145

ZNF145, also known as Zinc Finger Protein 145, is a gene that encodes a protein with multiple zinc finger domains. These domains are known to be involved in binding to DNA and RNA, suggesting a role for ZNF145 in gene regulation. The protein is expressed in various tissues and cell types, with particularly high levels observed in the brain.

Research has indicated that ZNF145 may play a role in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its involvement in the regulation of gene expression is thought to be mediated through its interaction with specific DNA sequences or other transcription factors. Studies have also suggested a potential connection between ZNF145 and certain neurological conditions, although the exact mechanisms are still under investigation.

The ZNF145 protein belongs to the Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc finger protein family, a large group of transcription factors that are involved in a wide range of biological functions. Further research is ongoing to fully elucidate the precise functions and regulatory mechanisms of ZNF145 in both normal physiology and disease states.
