Brpf1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable acetyltransferase activator activity. Predicted to contribute to histone H4K12 acetyltransferase activity; histone H4K5 acetyltransferase activity; and histone H4K8 acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within common myeloid progenitor cell proliferation; regulation of fibroblast proliferation; and tube morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of MOZ/MORF histone acetyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human BRPF1 (bromodomain and PHD finger containing 1). [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 Brpf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
