In molecular biology the FLYWCH zinc finger is a zinc finger domain. It is found in a number of eukaryotic proteins. FLYWCH is a C2H2-type zinc finger characterised by five conserved hydrophobic residues containing the conserved sequence motif: F/Y-X(n)-L-X(n)-F/Y-X(n)-WXCX(6-12)CX(17-22)HXH where X indicates any amino acid. This domain was first characterised in Drosophila modifier of mdg4 proteins Mod(mgd4) putative chromatin modulators involved in higher order chromatin domains.
