ZKSCAN5
Introduction
Zinc finger protein with KRAB and SCAN domains 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZKSCAN5 gene.[1][2]
This gene encodes a zinc finger protein of the Krüppel family. The protein contains a SCAN box and a KRAB A domain. A similar protein in mouse is differentially expressed in spermatogenesis. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants differing only in the five prime untranslated region (5′ UTR) have been described. Additional variants have been found, but their full-length sequences have not been determined.[2]
