Zinc finger protein 197 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF197 gene.
[1]
Function
This gene product belongs to the zinc finger protein superfamily, members of which are regulatory proteins characterized by nucleic acid-binding zinc finger domains. The encoded protein contains 20 tandemly arrayed C2H2-type zinc fingers, a Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain, and a SCAN box. This transcript turns over rapidly and contains 3' UTR AUUUA motifs, which are often a hallmark of rapid turnover. It is overexpressed in some thyroid papillary carcinomas. This gene is located in a cluster of zinc finger genes at 3p21. Naturally-occurring readthrough transcription is observed between this gene and the upstream zinc finger protein 660 gene and is represented by GeneID:110354863.
