SCAND1

SCAN domain-containing protein 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SCAND1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The SCAN domain is a highly conserved, leucine-rich motif of approximately 60 aa 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.

Interactions
SCAND1 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::MZF1.
