Znhit3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in box C/D snoRNP assembly; maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); and snoRNA localization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of pre-snoRNP complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in liver; pancreas; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in PEHO syndrome. Orthologous to human ZNHIT3 (zinc finger HIT-type containing 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Znhit3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- zinc finger HIT (zf-HIT) domain
- protein binding
- thyroid hormone receptor binding
