Zinc finger protein 847, pseudogene (ZNF847P)

Zinc finger protein 847, pseudogene (ZNF847P) is an unprocessed pseudogene found in humans at chromosomal region 1q42.13 (genomic location: 1:227696892-227706699). It is transcribed as a non-coding RNA but does not produce a functional protein due to sequence disruptions or lack of regulatory elements necessary for translation. Pseudogenes such as ZNF847P are remnants of protein-coding genes that have lost their protein-coding ability or are otherwise nonfunctional. ZNF847P is related in sequence to the zinc finger protein family, which is a large group of proteins characterized by structural zinc finger motifs that typically bind DNA and act as transcription factors. However, as a pseudogene, ZNF847P does not participate in these biological processes and has no demonstrated role as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or agent in human disease. No evidence was found for an association with disease, drug interactions, or relevant therapeutic applications. If you require information about functional "zinc finger proteins" (not the pseudogene ZNF847P), those are generally transcription factors involved in numerous biological processes and diseases, but this does not apply to the pseudogene ZNF847P.
