Tfcp2l1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; epithelial cell maturation; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human TFCP2L1 (transcription factor CP2 like 1).

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 Tfcp2l1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
