含有標準重復鋅指結構域的轉錄調控蛋白被認為參與了正常和異常的細胞增殖和分化ZNF161是一種C2H2型鋅指蛋白（Koyano Nakagawa等人，1994【PubMed 8035792】）鋅指蛋白的一般信息見MIM 603971。
Transcriptional regulatory proteins containing tandemly repeated zinc finger domains are thought to be involved in both normal and abnormal cellular proliferation and differentiation. ZNF161 is a C2H2-type zinc finger protein (Koyano-Nakagawa et al., 1994 [PubMed 8035792]). See MIM 603971 for general information on zinc finger proteins.
