Tlx3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in animal organ development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange by nervous system process; and respiratory gaseous exchange by respiratory system. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human TLX3 (T cell leukemia homeobox 3). [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 Tlx3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
