ZNF469

Zinc finger protein 469 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF469 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a is_associated_with::zinc-finger protein. Low-percent homology to certain is_associated_with::collagens suggests that it may function as a is_associated_with::transcription factor or extra-nuclear regulator factor for the synthesis or organization of collagen fibers. Mutations in this gene cause brittle cornea syndrome.

Clinical significance
Mutations in ZNF469 are associated to keratoconus.
