Znhit1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable histone binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and nucleosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; intestinal stem cell homeostasis; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of G0 to G1 transition; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Swr1 complex. Orthologous to human ZNHIT1 (zinc finger HIT-type containing 1). [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 rat Znhit1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
