ZNF732 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a kruppel-associated box-containing zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP). The encoded protein contains an N-terminal kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain and sixteen C-terminal C2H2-type zinc finger domains. The KRAB-ZFPs represent the largest family of mammalian transcriptional repressors, which function through the recruitment of the nuclear co-factor KRAB-Associated Protein 1 (KAP1), to engage histone modifiers and induce heterochromatin formation.

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human ZNF732 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • krueppel associated box
  • Zinc-finger double domain
  • KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain -A box
