Pwwp2a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable NuRD complex binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling; positive regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of transcriptional start site selection at RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human PWWP2A (PWWP domain containing 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pwwp2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
