Zinc Finger Protein 225 (ZNF225)

Zinc finger proteins are members of a multigene family encoding zinc mediated nucleic acid binding proteins. zinc finger proteins are among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic genomes and have been isolated from various organisms including yeast, Drosophila melanogaster, Xenopus laevis, mouse and humans.A zinc finger is made up of a short stretch of 28-40 amino acids containing a characteristic C2H2 (Cys-Cys-His-His) motif. Individual Zinc finger structures are as diverse as their functions. ZNF225 belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. Contains 18 C2H2-type zinc fingers. Contains 1 KRAB domain. May be involved in transcriptional regulation.
