Tcf7 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 beta-catenin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including canonical Wnt signaling pathway involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process; cellular response to interleukin-4; and regulation of gamma-delta T cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including T cell differentiation; embryonic morphogenesis; and neural tube development. Predicted to be located in euchromatin and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin. Orthologous to human TCF7 (transcription factor 7).

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 Tcf7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
