Anti-Zinc finger protein 593 from rabbit, purified by affinity chromatography

Zinc finger protein 593 (UniProt: O00488; also known as Zinc finger protein T86) is encoded by the ZNF593 (also known as ZT86) gene (Gene ID: 51042) in human. Zinc fingers are small protein domains wherein zinc plays a structural role contributing to the stability of the domain. Proteins containing zinc fingers are structurally diverse and perform a broad range of functions, including DNA replication and repair, transcription and translation, metabolism, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Zinc finger domain 593 (ZNF593) belongs to the ZNF593/BUD20 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family and contains a single C2H2 type zinc finger (amino acids 61-85). ZFP593 is largely disordered, with the exception of the zinc finger domain. It displays ubiquitous distribution and has been detected in spleen, prostate, testis, small intestine, and colon and in lower levels in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. ZFP593 is shown to negatively modulate the DNA binding activity of Oct-2. It can act either by binding to DNA octamer or by interacting with Oct-2. (Ref.: Srikrishna, S., et al.
