ZSCAN25 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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 ZSCAN25 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Zinc finger, C2H2 type
- leucine rich region
- zinc finger
- Zinc-finger double domain
- SCAN domain
