Gzf1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human GZF1 (GDNF inducible zinc finger protein 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 Gzf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
