Zinc Finger, AN1-Type Domain 5 (ZFAND5), also known as Zinc Finger Protein 216 (ZNF216), is a protein encoded by the ZFAND5 gene in humans. This protein is characterized by the presence of zinc finger motifs, which are small protein structural motifs that can coordinate one or more zinc ions to help stabilize their folds. ZFAND5 is involved in various biological processes, including protein degradation, regulation of NF-kappa-B activation, and apoptosis.
ZFAND5 is a single-chain, circular protein with a molecular weight of approximately 28 kDa . It contains several key structural features:
ZFAND5 plays a critical role in several biological processes:
ZFAND5 has been identified as a potential biomarker and drug target in various diseases:
ZFAND5 is widely studied for its potential applications in drug development and disease treatment:
