SCAND1
# SCAND1

SCAN domain-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCAND1 gene.

## Function

The SCAN domain is a highly conserved, leucine-rich motif of approximately 60 amino acids originally found within a subfamily of zinc finger proteins. This gene belongs to a family of genes that encode an isolated SCAN domain, but no zinc finger motif. Functional studies have established that the SCAN box is a protein interaction domain that mediates both hetero- and homoprotein associations, and maybe involved in regulation of transcriptional activity. Two transcript variants with different 5' UTRs, but encoding the same protein, have been described for this gene.

## Interactions

SCAND1 has been shown to interact with MZF1.
