Mtf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; methylated histone binding activity; and transcription corepressor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic; segment specification; and stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of ESC/E(Z) complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human MTF2 (metal response element binding transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Mtf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
