Zfp451 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; SUMO ligase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and protein sumoylation. Predicted to be located in PML body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; and metanephros. Orthologous to human ZNF451 (zinc finger protein 451). [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 Zfp451 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
