Esrrg Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including AF-2 domain binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and estrogen response element binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Orthologous to human ESRRG (estrogen related receptor gamma). [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 Esrrg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
