Myef2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in myotube differentiation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and neuron differentiation. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human MYEF2 (myelin expression factor 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 Myef2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
