Zinc finger protein 355, pseudogene (ZNF355P)

ZNF355P is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome, predicted to be similar in sequence and genomic context to functional zinc finger transcription factors but lacking protein-coding potential or functional evidence[2]. Members of the zinc finger protein family often function as transcription factors, regulating gene expression by binding DNA, but pseudogenes like ZNF355P typically do not encode active proteins[2]. Its putative protein structure would belong to the zinc finger family, which are involved broadly in transcriptional regulation, cell differentiation, and the control of diverse biological processes—though there is no evidence that ZNF355P performs any of these roles due to its pseudogenic status[2][3]. There is no information supporting its role as a therapeutic target or as a functional protein; hence, it is not considered an actionable drug target or biomarker. The names ZNF834, PRED65, and ZnFP01 are historical or alternative aliases for the same locus[2]. Additional Context (Family Level): - Zinc finger proteins are the largest group of transcription factors and regulate gene expression, cell cycle, apoptosis, and organismal development[3][4]. While some zinc finger proteins do play roles in cancer and other diseases, pseudogenes like ZNF355P are not functionally active[3][4].
