Zfr Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human ZFR (zinc finger RNA binding protein). [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 mouse Zfr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • DZF domain
  • Zinc-finger double-stranded RNA-binding
  • U1 zinc finger
  • protein binding
  • Zinc-finger of C2H2 type
