ZNF395 Polyclonal Antibody

Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. As a member of the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family, ZNF395 (Zinc finger protein 395), also known as PBF (Papillomavirus-binding factor) and HDBP2 (Huntington disease gene regulatory region-binding protein 2), is a 513 amino acid protein that contains one C2H2-type zinc finger. ZNF395 binds to the 3’-CCGG-5’ sequence within the papillomavirus promoter adjacent to a RUNX1-binding motif. It has also been established that ZNF395 binds to a seven base pair region within the Huntington's disease (HD) gene promoter, an essential element for HD gene expression. ZNF395 is widely expressed and probably shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
