Zinc finger protein 402, pseudogene (ZNF402P)

Zinc finger protein 402, pseudogene (ZNF402P), is annotated in the human genome as a non-protein coding pseudogene related to the zinc finger protein 402 family. Zinc finger proteins (such as functional C2H2-type transcription factors) are among the largest gene families and are defined by the presence of zinc finger domains that bind DNA and regulate transcription[2][3][5][1]. However, pseudogenes like ZNF402P do not code for active proteins and typically do not have known biological functions, pharmacological relevance, or disease associations. They are not considered valid drug or therapeutic targets. Functional zinc finger proteins play roles in transcriptional regulation, DNA/RNA binding, and development[1][2][3][5][4], but ZNF402P lacks these capacities. If you need information on a functional zinc finger protein or transcription factor, such as ZNF402 (without the 'P'), please provide the exact gene symbol or context.
