Zinc finger protein 423 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF423 gene. [5] [6] [7]
The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that belongs to the family of Kruppel-like C2H2 zinc finger proteins. It functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor by using distinct zinc fingers in different signaling pathways. Thus, it is thought that this gene may have multiple roles in signal transduction during development. [7] Mice lacking the homologous gene Zfp423 have defects in midline brain development, especially in the cerebellum, [8] [9] [10] as well as defects in olfactory development, [11] and adipogenesis. [12] [13] Patients with mutations in ZNF423 have been reported in Joubert Syndrome and nephronophthisis. [14]
ZNF423 has been shown to interact with EBF1, [15] PARP1, [16] Notch intracellular domain, [17] retinoic acid receptor, [18] and CEP290. [14]
