Zfp354a Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and nucleolus organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human ZNF354A (zinc finger protein 354A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Zfp354a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
