Zinc finger protein 492 (ZNF492)

Target
ZNF492
Molecular classification
Transcription factor, KRAB-zinc finger protein (Kruppel-associated box domain zinc finger family)
01

Overview

Zinc finger protein 492 is a human protein encoded by the ZNF492 gene, located on chromosome 19. It belongs to the KRAB-zinc finger protein family and is predicted to function as a DNA-binding transcription factor specific to RNA polymerase II regulatory regions[1][6][8]. ZNF492 is involved in the regulation of transcription and may act as a moderate transcriptional activator for the Rpe65 gene[6]. Its tissue localization is primarily nuclear, and it is expressed in multiple tissues[4]. ZNF492 is associated with congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism, type 2, but has no established role as a therapeutic target or documented drug interactions[1][5][6].
