Zfp628 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in genitourinary system. Orthologous to human ZNF628 (zinc finger protein 628). [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 Zfp628 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
