A cDNA clone, pMLZ-8, was isolated from a newborn mouse eye lens cDNA library using a consensus zinc finger oligonucleotide hybridization probe. The cDNA contains an open reading frame that conceptually encodes a 606 amino acid protein. The protein possesses a "KRAB" domain at its amino-terminus and has a carboxy-terminal region with fifteen consensus C2H2 zinc fingers. PCR analysis reveals the presence of pMLZ-8 mRNA in lens, liver, kidney, spleen, and brain of newborn mice.
