Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. The majority of zinc-finger proteins contain a Krüppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which is thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. ZNF440 is a 595 amino acid transcriptional regulator belonging to the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. ZNF440 localizes to the nucleus and contains twelve C2H2-type zinc fingers and a KRAB domain. ZNF440 is encoded by a gene located on chromosome 19 which contains a diversity of interesting genes and is recognized for having the greatest gene density of the human chromosomes. It is the genetic home for a number of immunoglobulin superfamily members including the killer cell and leukocyte Ig-like receptors, a number of ICAMs, the CEACAM and PSG family, and Fc receptors. Key genes for eye color and hair color also map to chromosome 19.
