Item #: SCP-ZH-310
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-ZH-310 in molecular biology, it is impossible and unnecessary to prevent or contain its existence in an extra extent. Departments concerned should spend containment resources supervising research studies on in vitro stable misfolded protein structures, non functional genes and epigenetics along with monitoring if there are academic articles with technical terms related to anomalous abilities, such as "reality bending", "ontokinetic" and "biological Einstein-Rosen Bridge" in order to prevent civilian from discovering the anomalous effects of SCP-ZH-310 derived proteins.
If a concerned research study starts, Class C amnestics are to be administered to the research team, and memetic agents are to be implanted into the related realm, in order to preserve the normalcy in public cognition.
Biochemical examinations conducted by the Foundation to anomalous humanoids are to be expanded with assessments related to SCP-ZH-310, including but not limited to species of SCP-ZH-310 derived proteins, unit density, activity of specimens, RSCR. Information with more details has been announced on the website of the Medical Association of the Foundation, allowed for researchers in concerned fields with class 2 clearance or above to access.
Site facilities related with anomalous humanoids in the Foundation English branch (such as Site-17, Site-66, Site-88) should send a biochemistry report about of currently-contained anomalous humanoids to Site-ZH-44, the Foundation Biomedical Association and Biochemical Society of the Foundation for research study reference.
Zh310-AP-4b-ar, a new-type mnestic developed by Site-ZH-44 collaborated with Antimemetics Division, is allowed to be applied under [REDACTED].
It is unsupported to reinforce and improve the expression of SCP-ZH-310 in any humanoids, and so is drug study.
Description: SCP-ZH-310 is a protein domain, with which a series of proteins can perform anomalous properties. It is found in a cross comparison between cranial nerves of regular humans and those of 45 anomalous entities. There have been eight members found in this family. To see them all, check the list of SCP-ZH-310 derivatives.
Expression of SCP-ZH-310 is regulated with several established biochemical mechanisms in human, and therefore it is rare to form an actual anomaly. The genes corresponding to SCP-ZH-310 is usually viewed as non-coding locus under circumstances consistent with modern models in biology, and with common epigenetic practices, 94% of its transcription has been repressed, making it nearly impossible to express in a regular person.
Even if SCP-ZH-310 manages to go through translation and folding modification where the tertiary structures are formed, there are still up to 99.2% chance of being degraded as a misfolded protein in proteasome. Only 0.8% population of people has their body not treat it as a misfolded one and retain the domain, leading it to become an anomalous protein.
As the intensity of SCP-ZH-310 expression is limited on the large scale, only 45% among those individuals who can steadily express SCP-ZH-310 would eventually transform themselves into anomalous entities.
Retrospective studies have proved that ███ instances of objects contained by the Foundation is capable of steadily expressing SCP-ZH-310 and its derivatives. Such instances account for 74% of humanoid anomalous entities currently in the Foundation containment.

Addendum
Addendum-ZH-310-1: Proposal for Protocol NINHURSAG
Given that the SCP-ZH-310 derivative, zh310-AP-1b possesses potential reality stabilizing capability, the former responsible person, Dr. Zymosan submitted a request for project fund to the main branch of the Foundation on █/█/████ along with research team of Site-ZH-44, in order to understand and intensify zh310-AP-1b expression, minimizing cognition posed by reality bending on people. The proposal was eventually rejected.
Protocol NINHURSAG
If the Foundation, in biomedical field, finds an object may benefit containment of anomaly or consolidate normalcy, the research on it can be promoted, and the results of intensification or inverse operation can be implanted into humanity, in order to raise the overall stability and the chance of survival of human civilization.

....Given that zh310-AP-1h, one of SCP-ZH-310 derivatives, possesses potential to be a natural SRA, along with the fact that the object has been known to generally exist in ordinary human body, our research division proposes to reactivate Protocol NINHURSAG in Site-ZH-44. Hopefully raise the resistance against reality bending anomalies for the Foundation and humanity after this object being fully studied.

Proposal refused. The Foundation's purpose is to maintain "normalcy". A reality stabilizing protein having existed in our body is considered normalcy; strengthening our cognition toward normalcy with anomalies is still anomalous. We had employed too much anomaly to maintain the "normalcy" determined by humanity; from the ethic committee's point of view, these procedures tend to end up shooting ourselves in the foot, compromising our motto in a grey zone. We certainly do not need to worsen it ourselves.The fund that your team proposed has no problem. It is quite interesting to find out why humans carry a protein with reality stabilizing mechanism. However, intensification of human's proper reality stabilizing capacity is actually creating another group of Type Green. This is not containment but the reverse. Therefore, the protocol will not be enforced for the object in question.
Besides, Site-ZH-44 Site Director, you need to improve your application checking process and personnel education. Do not forget the meaning of our motto and the veil protocol. From now on, you should talk to your on-site researching personnel before they submit any unrestrained proposal, in case it would be seemingly impetuous.

Addendum-ZH-310-2: Project Moonset
In the test on NASHAE, the Foundation found SCP-1000 instances carrying zh310-AP-2 of a level significantly higher than Homo sapiens and other samples. (p=0.015)
██/██/████, Dr. Flavir and three researchers from Site-ZH-44 was invited into Project Moonset.
Project Moonset
Leading by the responsible team for SCP-1000, the teams from Site-ZH-44, Site-66 SCPFBMA are to collaborate to find out the sources from which the SCP-1000 ancient civilization developed organism manipulating techniques.
Research Process
[2/Project Moonset Clearance Required]
[5/ZH-310 Clearance Required]
[4/1000 Clearance or Above Required]
Research Result Excerpt
- SCP-ZH-310 is actually an artificial protein domain, the product of SCP-1000 civilization technology.
- zh310-AP-2 is a natural protein in SCP-1000, from which SCP-1000 reversely extract SCP-ZH-310, and developed other SCP-ZH-310 derivatives.
- Due to the Dominance of SCP-1000 towards humanity in the past, Homo sapiens were often employed as experiment subjects in the history of SCP-ZH-310 researching, leading its hereditary factors to enter gene pool of Homo sapiens.
- zh310-AP-2 is the major channel through which SCP-1000 manipulate other living objects or organisms. With a large amount of the protein expression, they managed to construct non-contact neural connection with other creatures, and therefore manipulate other species and organisms, creating a "Children of the Night civilization" different from that of Homo sapiens.
- In human bodies exist multiple breaking mechanisms towards SCP-ZH-310, resulted from SCP-1000 employing virus agents to spread and regulate biochemical pathways in humans to prevent an SK class Dominance Shift Scenario.
- It is speculated that SCP-1000 contaminated part of SCP-1000 population with the same virus agents employed in the above-mentioned regulation process, resulted in a part of SCP-1000 losing their non-contact neural connecting ability, which directly or indirectly weakened its civilization.
- zh310-AP-2 expression negatively correlates with carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere (R2=0.89), which means that climate changes and current environmental pollution suppressed the non-contact neural connecting ability of SCP-1000.
Given the special property of zh310-AP-2, a proposal to classify the protein as a new SCP object has been submitted, now pending the deliberation Site-ZH Headquarter, SCPFBMA and O5 council.

Incident Recording
Incident ZH-310-1:
6/3/2019, in Site-ZH-44 occurred a security event, where D-243726 neutralized memetic kill agents in the facility. After the security personnel's arrival, D-243726 was accidentally terminated with shots. Autopsy reports revealed that there was a great amount of beryllium bronze found within the interior of blood vessels and the brain. Further study confirmed that it was a homologue of zh310-AP-4b, a SCP-ZH-310 derivative, consistent with the mnestic developed by the Division of [REDACTED] collaborated with Site-ZH-44.
After the incident, Dr. Surge, the Site Director conducted an interview with Dr. Zymosan, the responsible person for SCP-ZH-310 when the incident occurred.
Time: 6/4/2019 20:49
Interviewer: Site-ZH-44 Director, Dr. Surge
Interviewed: Dr. ZymosanDr. Surge: So, how did that D-class manage to escape?
Dr. Zymosan: 4b-ar is out of control. We thought it works, but it works too much. It not only consolidate memories as mnestics, not only help to resist amnestic, info-hazard, memetic kill agents .... It's not only the antagonist of AP-4, I think it also has properties of AP-2, just of a more violent version.
Dr. Surge: And you used it on a D-class —
Dr. Zymosan: He's out of control and far more beyond our prediction. We've succeeded but we've also failed.
Dr. Surge: (Take two deep breaths) Fine.
Dr. Zymosan: Sam, 4b must be deleted. The whole project must be deleted. Things Wheeler wants us to do is ruined. You know what their division do. The whole project must be deleted, with nothing left. (Pause) And frankly speaking, I don't think this should be left. Just imagine what if GoI or someone else gets this ....
Dr. Surge: I know. I know.
(Silence lasted for fifteen seconds)
Dr. Surge: So, what are you going to do? I wish I could say it's not your fault. But you know the rules.
Dr. Zymosan: I know. The Foundation don't do it this way. I've familiar with their rules. That means no rules.
Dr. Zymosan: I've fed up with being at fucking mercy of the Foundation. NINHURSAG is also what they've made up. 3031 is suitable, but there's no chance for us. We're just a small site, can do nothing but being a puppet for the superiors. BMA, Ethic Committee, Amemetic Division. We just follow the procedures and loses every time.
Dr. Surge: I know how you feel, but still be careful about what to say. You know where these'll end up.
Dr. Zymosan: Don't be worried. Anyway, I've planned the next step when that incident happened.
Dr. Surge: What do you mean?
Dr. Zymosan: I quit.
[End of the Interview]
Dr. Zymosan resigned two weeks after the interview, received standard amnestic procedures for resigning personnel of the Foundation. The responsible person for the object is currently Dr. Flavir.
Incident ZH-310-2:
In inventory on █/█/2019, zh-310-4b sample was found missing. Site security camera provided no further clue. The Foundation is tracking Dr. Zymosan's whereabouts. The search is ongoing.
