Hnf4g Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and nuclear receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within gene expression and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including intercellular bridge; mitotic spindle; and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human HNF4G (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 gamma).

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 Hnf4g often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
