ZNF451

Chr 6

zinc finger protein 451

Also known as: COASTER, ZATT, dJ417I1.1

NCBI Gene: 26036ENSG00000112200UniProt: Q9Y4E5

Enables SUMO ligase activity; transcription corepressor activity; and transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and protein sumoylation. Located in PML body. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

gnomAD
Tolerant — LoF & missense variants common in population
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.

Tolerant

Typical tolerance to LoF variation

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.

Synonymous OE?Control metric — synonymous variants are largely neutral and expected near OE = 1.0. Significant deviation may indicate annotation issues.1.00
