Eaf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transcription elongation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II; and transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cell growth and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription elongation factor complex. Orthologous to human EAF2 (ELL associated factor 2).

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 Eaf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
