Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
SCAN domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCAND1 gene.[5][6][7][8]
Function
The SCAN domain is a highly conserved, leucine-rich motif of approximately 60 amino acids originally found within a subfamily of zinc finger proteins. This gene belongs to a family of genes that encode an isolated SCAN domain, but no zinc finger motif. Functional studies have established that the SCAN box is a protein interaction domain that mediates both hetero- and homoprotein associations, and maybe involved in regulation of transcriptional activity. Two transcript variants with different 5' UTRs, but encoding the same protein, have been described for this gene.[8]
Interactions
SCAND1 has been shown to interact with MZF1.[5]
