ZNF239 explained

Zinc finger protein 239 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF239 gene.[1] [2] [3]

Function

MOK2 proteins are DNA- and RNA-binding proteins that are mainly associated with nuclear RNP components, including the nucleoli and extranucleolar structures.[3] [4]

Interactions

ZNF239 has been shown to interact with LMNA.[5]
