Background of the antigen
ZNF672 is a 452 amino acid nuclear protein that may be involved in transcriptional regulation. Belonging to the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family, ZNF672 contains 14 C2H2-type zinc fingers. ZNF672 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms, and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 1q44. Human chromosome 1 spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes, comprises nearly 8% of the human genome, and houses a large number of disease-associated genes, including those that are involved in familial adenomatous polyposis, Stickler syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Gaucher disease, schizophrenia and Usher syndrome.
