✦AI Summary

ZNF783 encodes a zinc finger protein likely involved in transcriptional regulation through DNA binding. Based on limited published evidence, ZNF783 functions as a DNA-binding transcription factor that binds RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory regions and regulates DNA-templated transcription in the nucleus. ZNF783 was identified as a top candidate gene frequently methylated in prostate cancer and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, with methylation associated with gene expression inactivation in prostate cancer cell lines 1.
