We have isolated and characterized a cDNA clone, termed OTK18, representing a novel human gene. The 3754 nucleotides of this clone contain an open reading frame of 2133 nucleotides. As the predicted 711-amino-acid protein contains 13 contiguous zinc-finger structures of the C{sub 2}H{sub 2} type, it would be expected to function as a DNA-binding multi-finger protein. The 4.3-kb transcript was expressed in all adult human tissues examined by Northern analysis. The gene was assigned to chromosomal band 19q13.4 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. 23 refs., 3 figs.
