Activity summary

ZNF148 also known as ZBP-89 or BFCOL1 is a zinc finger transcription factor involved in the regulation of gene expression. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa. It is found in a range of tissues but shows higher expression levels in the liver and colon. ZNF148 binds to the GC-rich sequences in the promoter regions thereby influencing transcriptional activities of its target genes.

Biological function summary

ZNF148 plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It does not form part of a multi-protein complex but interacts directly with other transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery. The protein can repress or activate transcription depending on the cellular context and specific gene target. ZNF148 has key roles in processes such as regulation of apoptosis and maintenance of tissue homeostasis.

Pathways

ZNF148 significantly impacts the Wnt signaling pathway contributing to cell proliferation and differentiation. It also has involvement in the p53 network where it regulates genes critical for cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. It involves proteins like β-catenin in the Wnt pathway and it influences the p53 protein within the cell cycle pathway.

Associated diseases and disorders

ZNF148 has links to colorectal cancer and liver diseases. In colorectal cancer its dysregulation can affect cell proliferation and apoptosis through interactions with proteins such as β-catenin. In liver diseases alterations in ZNF148 expression impact the balance of cell survival and death with connections to the p53 protein playing an important part in liver tissue response to stress and damage.
