Zinc Finger Protein 100 (ZNF100) is part of the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. ZNF100 contains 12 C2H2-type zinc fingers and 1 KRAB domain. ZNF100 is a DNA-binding protein domain consisting of zinc fingers. Zinc finger protein 100 occurs in nature as the part of transcription factors conferring DNA sequence specificity as the DNA-binding domain. Zinc finger proteins have also found use in protein engineering due to their modularity and have prospects as components of tools for use in therapeutic gene modulation and zinc finger nucleases.
