Zinc finger protein 493 (ZNF493)

Zinc finger protein 493 is a human protein belonging to the zinc finger family, specifically classified within the C2H2-type Krueppel family of transcription factors. It is predicted to enable DNA binding and zinc ion binding activity and may be involved in the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, functioning as a sequence-specific transcription activator. Like other zinc finger proteins, ZNF493 likely uses zinc finger motifs to interact with nucleic acids, most commonly DNA, but its specific targets and biological roles remain incompletely characterized. There is no evidence to date linking ZNF493 directly to any human disease or to therapeutic targeting.
