Zinc finger protein 322 pseudogene 1 (ZNF322P1)

Zinc finger protein 322 pseudogene 1 (ZNF322P1) is classified as a pseudogene in the human genome, named for its sequence similarity to zinc finger protein 322 (ZNF322). Unlike protein-coding members of the zinc finger protein family, ZNF322P1 is unable to produce a functional protein due to mutations or sequence disruptions and is not considered a biologically active molecule or clinical drug target. Zinc finger proteins generally function as transcription factors, regulating gene expression and participating in critical cellular roles—including metabolism, apoptosis, and differentiation. However, ZNF322P1 lacks these functions as a pseudogene. For structured biological databases, ZNF322P1 should not be considered an actionable therapeutic target. If a functional zinc finger protein or transcription factor was intended, entry should be revised to refer to the protein-coding gene, such as “Zinc finger protein 322” (ZNF322A).
