Zinc Finger Protein 541 (ZNF541)

ZNF541 is a new candidate transcription factor. There are two named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Component of some chromatin remodeling multiprotein complex that plays a role during spermatogenesis Contains 5 C2H2-type zinc fingers.The Cys2His2-like fold group is by far the best-characterized class of zinc fingers and are extremely common in mammalian transcription factors. This class of zinc fingers can have a variety of functions such as binding RNA and mediating protein-protein interactions, but is best known for its role in sequence specific DNA-binding proteins such as Zif268. In such proteins, individual zinc finger domains typically occur as tandem repeats with two, three, or more fingers comprising the DNA-binding domain of the protein.
