Disease relevance of ZNF354A

 

High impact information on ZNF354A

 

Biological context of ZNF354A

  • We found ubiquitous expression of human Tcf17 as well as rat Kid-1 in different types of human and rat tissue, indicating that the putative transcription-regulating activity of this zinc finger gene, in contrast to the published data, is not restricted to the kidney [1].
  • The human Kid-1 homolog Tcf17 has been cloned and assigned to chromosome 5q35 [1].
  • The deduced amino acid sequence showed 86.0% and 87.2% identity (91.6% and 92.8% similarity) with the rat Kid1 and mouse Tcf17 respectively [3].
  • KID1 is a putative transcriptional repressor, containing a KRAB domain at its amino terminus that mediates transcriptional repression in transient cell transfection assays when fused to a heterologous DNA-binding domain [4].
 

Associations of ZNF354A with chemical compounds

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ZNF354A

  • Northern blot analysis indicated that HKL-1 clone hybridizes with mRNA of about 0.5 kb, consistent with the size of the HKL-1 clone [5].
