Atf7ip Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA methylation-dependent constitutive heterochromatin formation; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ATF7IP (activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein).

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 Atf7ip often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
