Dhrs7b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in ether lipid biosynthetic process and neutrophil differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; and regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus and peroxisome. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Orthologous to human DHRS7B (dehydrogenase/reductase 7B). [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 Dhrs7b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- polyketide synthase keto reductase domain
- Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
- transcription co-repressor
- acylglycerone-phosphate reductase
- KR domain
- transcription factor binding
- enzyme
- protein binding
- Enoyl-(Acyl carrier protein) reductase
- short chain dehydrogenase
- Alanine dehydrogenase/PNT, C-terminal domain
