Zinc finger protein 718 (ZNF718)

Zinc finger protein 718 (ZNF718) is a predicted human transcription factor, part of the large zinc finger protein family, characterized by zinc finger DNA-binding domains and thought to regulate gene expression by binding specific cis-regulatory elements in the genome. ZNF718 is believed to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity specific to RNA polymerase II and may be involved in the regulation of DNA-templated transcription, primarily located in the cell nucleus. ZNF718, like many C2H2-type zinc finger proteins, may play roles in transcriptional activation or repression, but specific target genes, interacting partners, or physiological functions have not been established experimentally. There is no current evidence that ZNF718 functions as a therapeutic target or is implicated directly in disease pathways.
