Also known as RITA, ZNF361, ZNF463, zinc finger protein 331

Zinc finger protein 331 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF331 gene.

Gene data

ZNF331

Name: zinc finger protein 331
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: RITA, ZNF361, ZNF463

This gene encodes a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain found in transcriptional repressors. This gene may be methylated and silenced in cancer cells. This gene is located within a differentially methylated region (DMR) and shows allele-specific expression in placenta. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015].

Zinc finger protein 331 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF331 gene.

Zinc finger proteins have been shown to interact with nucleic acids and to have diverse functions. The zinc finger domain is a conserved amino acid sequence motif containing 2 specifically positioned cysteines and 2 histidines that are involved in coordinating zinc. Kruppel-related proteins form one family of zinc finger proteins. See ZFP93 (MIM 604749) for additional information on zinc finger proteins.[supplied by OMIM]
