Description:
ZPR1 is a zinc finger protein, also called ZNF259, required for cellular replication and viability. It has many functions and is best known for assembling into multiprotein complexes with survival motor neuron (SMN) protein as a part of RNA splicing. It has been associated with modulation of serum lipid levels in certain populations. In fact, high plasma triglyceride levels and reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) are common among some patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and may contribute to hemolysis and endothelial dysfunction sub-phenotypes of disease. Sequence variation in this gene associated with serum lipid levels in patients with SCD.

Synonyms: GKAF , ZNF259
