Zinc fingers and homeoboxes protein 1-C8orf76 readthrough transcript protein (ZHX1-C8orf76)
- Target
- ZHX1-C8orf76
- Molecular classification
- Other (Readthrough transcript protein), Not classified under major protein families (receptor, enzyme, channel, etc.), Related to transcription factors via the ZHX1 portion but the readthrough product itself is distinct
01
Overview
ZHX1-C8orf76 represents a protein product encoded by a readthrough transcript spanning the neighboring zinc fingers and homeoboxes 1 (ZHX1) and chromosome 8 open reading frame 76 (C8orf76) genes. This transcript encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with the downstream C8orf76 gene but acquires a unique N-terminal region due to exon usage from the upstream ZHX1 gene. The biological function, disease role, and therapeutic relevance of ZHX1-C8orf76 are not established, and it is not part of a recognized molecular family such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter. The parent ZHX1 gene is known to encode a transcriptional repressor involved in DNA-binding and transcriptional regulation, but these roles are not assigned to the readthrough product.

02
Mechanism of action
None known. No drugs targeting this molecule, so mechanism of action is not established.
03
Biological functions
Unknown; biological function of the readthrough protein is not characterizedThe parent ZHX1 gene is a nuclear transcriptional repressor, but the readthrough protein’s specific activity is uncharacterized
04
Disease associations
None established for the readthrough proteinNo current evidence linking this protein to human disease. Parent ZHX1 gene is implicated in Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II and Nephrotic syndrome, but these roles are not attributed to the readthrough isoform
05
Safety considerations
None known. No therapeutic applications or drug interactions are reported.
06
Interacting drugs
None known. No drugs reported as interacting with ZHX1-C8orf76.
07
Biomarkers
None established. ZHX1-C8orf76 is not currently used as a biomarker.
