Normal role description: ZNF146 is a zinc-finger domain containing protein which binds DNA. This protein may interact with UBC9/UBE2I, SUMOylation enzyme and TERF2IP telomere-binding protein. ZNF146 may function to repress gene expression. Amplification of ZNF146 has been implicated in the development of pancreatic tumours.
