Zfp36l2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; hemopoiesis; and positive regulation of mRNA catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within hemopoiesis and nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Orthologous to human ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2). [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 Zfp36l2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
