ZFAND5

Chr 9

zinc finger AN1-type containing 5

Also known as: ZA20D2, ZFAND5A, ZNF216

This protein anchors ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome for degradation and regulates NF-kappa-B signaling and apoptosis. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI=0.85, LOEUF=0.45), suggesting mutations would likely cause developmental disorders, though no specific disease associations have been established yet. Clinical presentations would likely involve multiple organ systems given the protein's fundamental role in cellular protein degradation pathways.
