ZSCAN1

ZSCAN1, also known as Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing protein 1, is a significant protein in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as specific zinc - related factors in research. Its mechanism mainly involves binding to specific DNA sequences through its zinc - finger domains, thus regulating gene expression. ZSCAN1 participates in several key signaling pathways such as the Wnt and Notch pathways.
Abnormal expression of ZSCAN1 has been associated with various diseases, including certain types of cancers. In drug development, researchers are exploring inhibitors or activators targeting ZSCAN1 to modulate its function. Although there is no approved drug yet, pre - clinical studies are showing promising results, which paves the way for future therapeutic strategies.
