Dach1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cell migration and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell population proliferation; suckling behavior; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human DACH1 (dachshund family transcription factor 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 Dach1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
