Osr1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; kidney development; and negative regulation of transporter activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within gonad development; intermediate mesoderm development; and metanephros development. Located in cell cortex and cytosol. Orthologous to human OSR1 (odd-skipped related transcription factor 1). [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 Osr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
