Nfkbiz Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; positive regulation of immune response; and response to bacterium. Predicted to act upstream of or within inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NFKBIZ (NFKB inhibitor zeta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Nfkbiz often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
