  • Zinc finger proteins
    Patent number: 7297515
    Abstract: Novel zinc finger proteins and nucleic acids encoding the proteins are provided. The zinc finger proteins interact with ZNF202, a zinc finger protein that regulates the expression of a variety of genes involved in lipid metabolism and transportation. Modulation of the novel zinc finger proteins and their interactions with ZNF202 can be useful in the treatment of coronary heart diseases, dyslipidemia, dyscholesterolemia and obesity.
