ZNF670-ZNF695 readthrough (NMD candidate) (ZNF670-ZNF695)

ZNF670-ZNF695 readthrough (NMD candidate) is a **naturally occurring read-through transcript** between the adjacent zinc finger protein 670 (ZNF670) and zinc finger protein 695 (ZNF695) genes located on chromosome 1. This transcript straddles both genes due to transcription readthrough, but it **is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)**, which means it is highly unlikely to be translated into a functional protein product. There is **no evidence this locus encodes a functional protein**, and it is not currently associated with any therapeutic or biomarker utility[1][3][6]. **Explanation:** - The entity is not a conventional gene product or receptor, but rather a readthrough non-coding RNA, primarily of **genomic/transcriptional interest** rather than therapeutic significance[1][3][6]. - There is no evidence it produces a protein or has a direct role as a transcription factor, enzyme, receptor, or other therapeutic target.[1][3][6] - No drugs or known mechanisms of action are associated with this readthrough transcript. - Its primary annotation is as an **NMD candidate—and thus not translated**[1][3]. If you are seeking information about the protein-coding genes themselves (ZNF670 or ZNF695), those are **zinc finger transcription factors** potentially involved in the regulation of gene expression and may have biological relevance, but the ZNF670-ZNF695 readthrough transcript should not be considered a therapeutic target[1][3].
