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. ZNF202 (zinc finger protein 202), also known as ZKSCAN10, is a 648 amino acid protein that contains eight C2H2-type zinc fingers, one KRAB domain and one SCAN box domain. Localized to the nucleus and expressed at high levels in the testis, ZNF202 belongs to the Kruppel C2H2-type zincfinger protein family and functions as a transcriptional repressor of genes that are involved in lipid metabolism. ZNF202 regulates the expression of several classes of proteins, including lipoprotein particles, transporters involved in lipid homeostasis, enzymes involved in lipid processing and a wide variety of proteins that are associated with energy metabolism. Defects in the gene encoding ZNF202 are associated with high cholesterol and may be involved in the pathogenesis of lung, ovarian and breast cancer. Two isoforms of ZNF202, designated a and b, exist due to alternative splicing events Protein function: Transcriptional repressor that binds to elements found predominantly in genes that participate in lipid metabolism. Among its targets are structural components of lipoprotein particles (apolipoproteins AIV, CIII, and E), enzymes involved in lipid processing (lipoprotein lipase, lecithin cholesteryl ester transferase), transporters involved in lipid homeostasis (ABCA1, ABCG1), and several genes involved in processes related to energy metabolism and vascular disease.
