Zinc Finger Protein 498 (ZNF498)

ZNF498 encodes a protein that bears some similarity to zinc finger proteins, which are involved in DNA binding and protein-protein interactions. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature for most of them has not been determined.ZNF498 (zinc finger protein 498), also known as Zinc finger and SCAN domaincontaining protein 25 (ZSCAN25), is a 544 amino acid protein. Localized to the nucleus, ZNF498 contains seven C2H2-type zinc fingers and one SCAN box domain. Due to the presence of these domains, ZNF498 is believed to be involved in transcriptional regulation. ZNF498 exists as four isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
