Zfp469 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extracellular matrix organization; fibroblast proliferation; and substantia propria of cornea development. Is expressed in several structures, including craniocervical region bone; sensory organ; skeleton; tarsus; and urinary system. Used to study brittle cornea syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brittle cornea syndrome 1. Orthologous to human ZNF469 (zinc finger protein 469). [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 Zfp469 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
