Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing protein 29 (ZSCAN29)

Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing protein 29 (ZSCAN29) is a transcription factor characterized by the presence of both a C2H2-type zinc finger motif and a SCAN domain. The zinc finger domain enables specific DNA binding, allowing ZSCAN29 and other family members to regulate gene expression by targeting cis-acting DNA elements[1][2]. The SCAN domain mediates protein-protein interactions, including homo- and heterodimerization with other transcription factors, affecting transcriptional activity[1][3]. ZSCAN29 and the wider ZSCAN family are increasingly studied for their roles in gene expression modulation and potential involvement in cancer progression, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis; however, direct functional studies or disease links for ZSCAN29 itself remain limited in the published literature[1][2][3].
