Abstrakt: This article focuses on d4 gene family. The d4 family is a group of unique, evolutionarily conserved zinc finger proteins that are involved in the determination of cell fate. The first member of the d4 family, neuro-d4, was cloned as a neuro specific, developmentally regulated rat gene. The most characteristic feature of these proteins is a cysteine/histidine-rich C-terminal d4-domain, a double-paired finger motif that consists of two tandemly arranged PHD finger domains. More recently, two additional members of the neuro-d4 family have been identified in the human, mouse, and chicken genomes.
