Zinc Finger And SCAN Domain Containing Protein 22 (ZSCAN22)

ZSCAN22 is well expressed, 0.4 times the average gene in this release.The gene contains 4 different gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 3 alternatively spliced mRNAs. There are 2 validated alternative polyadenylation sites. The mRNAs appear to differ by overlapping exons with different boundaries. 96 bp of this gene are antisense to spliced gene skoysaw, raising the possibility of regulated alternate expression. There are 3 articles specifically referring to this gene in PubMed. Functionally, the gene has been tested for association to diseases (Brain Neoplasms; Glioblastoma) and proposed to participate in a process (regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent). Proteins are expected to have molecular functions (DNA binding, metal ion binding, zinc ion binding, nucleic acid binding and 2 others) and to localize in various compartments (nucleus, intracellular).
