Ikzf1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and poly-pyrimidine tract binding activity. Predicted to be involved in erythrocyte differentiation; lymphocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; lymphocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and pericentric heterochromatin. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; acute lymphoblastic leukemia; colorectal cancer; and common variable immunodeficiency 13. Orthologous to human IKZF1 (IKAROS family zinc finger 1). [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 Ikzf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
