ZNF238
Introduction
Zinc finger protein 238 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF238 gene.[1][2][3]
Function
Function
C2H2-type zinc finger proteins, such as ZNF238, act on the molecular level as transcriptional activators or repressors and are involved in chromatin assembly.[supplied by OMIM][3]
