Zinc finger protein 57 homolog (ZFP57), also known as zinc finger protein 698 (ZNF698), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZFP57 gene.^[1]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein containing a KRAB domain. Studies in mouse suggest that this protein may function as a transcriptional repressor.^[1]

Clinical significance

Mutations in the ZFP57 gene may be associated with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus.^[2]
