Recombinant full-length human ZNF622 protein was used as the immunogen for the ZNF622 antibody.
Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. ZNF622 (zinc-finger protein 622), also known as ZPR9 (zinc-fingerlike protein 9), is a 477 amino acid protein that localizes to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Expressed in liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain, ZNF622 is thought to activate the bound transcription factor B-Myb and, through this activation, may play a role in embryonic development. ZNF622 contains two U1-type zinc fingers and exists as either a homodimer or a heterodimer that can be phosphorylated by MELK (maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase). Overexpression of ZNF266 may be associated with liver metastases, carcinomatoses and colorectal carcinomas.
