Nfx1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and protein autoubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of MHC class II biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear lumen; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NFX1 (nuclear transcription factor, X-box binding 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 Nfx1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
