Rest

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; negative regulation of neurogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 27; gingival fibromatosis 5; and nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human REST (RE1 silencing transcription factor).

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