ZBTB46 Antibody / BTBD4 / ZNF340

BTBD4 (BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 4), also known as zinc finger protein 340 (ZNF340) or zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 46 (ZBTB46), is a 589 amino acid protein that contains one BTB/POZ domain. The BTB/POZ domain mediates homomeric and heteromeric POZ-POZ inter- actions and is common to transcriptional regulators involved in chromatin modeling. In several BTB/POZ containing proteins, including BCL-6 and the promyelocytic leukemia zinc-finger (PLZF) oncoprotein, this domain interacts with the SMRT/N-CoR-mSin3A HDAC complex and is directly involved in repressing and silencing gene transcription. When this domain is deleted, as with the oncogenic PLZF-RAR chimera of promyelocytic leukemias, this tran- scriptional repression is attenuated. This suggests that BTBD4 may play a role in transcription regulation.
