Activity summary

ZNF687 also known as zinc finger protein 687 is a transcription factor with a known molecular mass of approximately 137 kDa. This protein contains multiple zinc finger motifs that enable its binding to specific DNA sequences regulating the transcription of certain genes. ZNF687 is expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and bone marrow. Its ability to bind DNA is critical for controlling gene expression related to cell proliferation and differentiation.

Biological function summary

ZNF687 functions as a regulatory protein involved in gene expression playing an important role in cellular growth and differentiation. It does not appear to be part of a larger protein complex but acts through binding to specific DNA sequences. The protein helps regulate genes involved in hematopoiesis and neural development suggesting a role in the development and maintenance of these tissues.

Pathways

ZNF687 contributes to gene transcription pathways important for cellular growth and development. It interfaces with signaling pathways such as the MAPK/ERK pathway which is significant for cell proliferation and survival. ZNF687 associates with other transcription factors and its function affects proteins like MYC and FOS which are central to these pathways. By regulating these pathways ZNF687 impacts cellular responses to internal and external stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

ZNF687 is connected to several conditions including osteosarcoma and Paget's disease of bone. Mutations or dysregulation of ZNF687 have been implicated in these diseases potentially through interactions with proteins like SQSTM1 which plays a role in bone remodeling. Research continues to explore ZNF687's contributions to these conditions indicating its relevance in understanding and possibly targeting these diseases.
