Zinc finger protein 705D, denoted as "ZNF705D," is part of the zinc finger protein family, which is characterized by the presence of zinc finger motifs. These motifs are small, functional domains stabilized by one or more zinc ions and are involved in binding to DNA, RNA, or other proteins. The zinc finger domains typically coordinate zinc ions with a combination of cysteine and histidine residues, and they can adopt various structural forms, such as the classical C2H2 type, which is the most common and well-studied.

ZNF705D specifically contains these zinc finger motifs, indicating its role as a transcription factor or a molecule involved in the regulation of gene expression. Transcription factors with zinc finger domains typically bind to specific sequences of DNA, controlling the transcriptional activity of target genes. Through this mechanism, ZNF705D may influence a range of cellular processes including development, differentiation, and response to external stimuli.The "D" in ZNF705D likely differentiates it from other members within the ZNF705 family, suggesting that it has unique attributes or functions despite sharing a common domain architecture. The exact biological role of ZNF705D has not been as extensively characterized as some other zinc finger proteins. However, given the versatility and widespread involvement of zinc finger proteins in cellular regulation, ZNF705D could potentially be implicated in crucial regulatory networks within the cell.
