motifs/domains
  • one putative N-terminal SET domain, thought to be involved in protein–protein interactions, in the regulation of chromatin-mediated gene expression
  • tandem C-terminal 10 C2H2-type zinc-finger domains, each consisting of two cysteine and two histidine residues thought to be crucial for DNA binding
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Gm1011

    text
  • cytoplasmic localization and a nuclear distribution in areas corresponding with the euchromatin fraction
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
  • has an important role in eye development and homeostasis
  • likely may be involved in a wide range of functions apart from high-affinity DNA binding
  • potential crucial transcription factor that plays an important role in retinal vasculogenesis
  • may likely play additional roles apart from its implication in vasculature development
  • role of ZNF408 protein in the development and maintaining of retinal blood vessels
