ZGPAT Polyclonal Antibody

ZGPAT (Zinc finger CCCH-type with G patch domain-containing protein), also known as zinc finger CCCH domain-containing protein 9 (ZC3HDC9) and G patch domain-containing protein 6 (GPATC6), is a 531 amino acid protein that contains a G-patch domain, which is typically found within RNA-binding proteins. Proteins that contain the G-patch domain include some tumor suppressor and DNA-damage repair proteins. ZGPAT also contains one C3H1-type zinc finger, which further supports its probable role as an RNA-binding protein. The gene encoding ZGPAT is inactivated via differential methylation in a oligodendroglioma cell line, suggesting that ZGPAT may have utility as a biomarker. There are two isoforms of ZGPAT that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
