Try and "BLAST" it against the sequence or structure database ...     What is your conclusion??    

Use the original UNIPROT entry [follow the link].  

Use a tool for generating pairwise sequences alignments (such as blast2seq, HPATM).  

Then visit the PROSITE entry for the Zinc finger C2H2 type domain signature [follow the link]. What is your conclusion now??
