Zinc finger protein 469 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF469 gene.[1]

Function

This gene encodes a zinc-finger protein. Low-percent homology to certain collagens suggests that it may function as a transcription factor or extra-nuclear regulator factor for the synthesis or organization of collagen fibers. Mutations in this gene cause brittle cornea syndrome.[1]

Clinical significance

Mutations in ZNF469 are associated to keratoconus .[2]
