RLF Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within histone H3-K4 monomethylation and regulation of DNA methylation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 human RLF often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
