ZCWPW1 — Zinc Finger CW-Type and PWWP Domain

🧬 Gene Info
Gene SymbolZCWPW1
Full NameZinc Finger CW-Type and PWWP Domain Containing 1
AliasesZinc Finger CW-Type and PWWP Domain
FunctionZCWPW1 is a 541 amino acid protein containing CW-type and PWWP domains, which are known to bind to modified histones and participate in chromatin remodeling and gene regulation.[2]
Primary ExpressionModerate expression in brain and peripheral tissues
Molecular Weight61 kDa
Amino Acids541 aa
UniProt IDZCWPW1
Ensembl IDENSG00000060337
GeneCardsZCWPW1
Human Protein AtlasZCWPW1
Chromatin BindingThe CW and PWWP domains recognize specific histone modifications, particularly H3K4me3 and H3K36me3.
Epigenetic RegulationMay function as a reader of histone marks and recruit chromatin-modifying complexes.
Gene ExpressionInvolved in transcriptional regulation through chromatin interactions.
DNA RepairImpaired DNA repair is a feature of AD neurons; ZCWPW1 may play a role in neuronal DNA damage response.
