Morf4l2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleolus; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex and nucleosome. Orthologous to human MORF4L2 (mortality factor 4 like 2). [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 Morf4l2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- male-specific lethal-3 similarity domain
- nuclear localization sequence
- leucine zipper domain
- protein binding
- helix-loop-helix domain
- MRG
- ATP/GTP binding domain
