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 krueppel-type DNA binding domain and a KRAB domain, which are thought to interact with KAP1, thereby recruiting histone modifying proteins. ZIK1 (zinc finger protein interacting with K protein 1 homolog), also known as ZNF762, is a 487 amino acid nuclear protein belonging to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. Expressed at high levels in gastric glands, and at low levels in colon and small intestine, ZIK1 is silenced through promoter methylation in gastric glands with intestinal metaplasia. ZIK1 is considered a transcriptional repressor that interacts with hnRNP K. ZIK1 contains nine C2H2-type zinc fingers and a KRAB domain. Three isoforms of ZIK1 are produced by alternative splicing events.
