Elf3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inflammatory response; mammary gland involution; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst development; extracellular matrix organization; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ELF3 (E74 like ETS transcription factor 3).

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 Elf3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
