Esrrb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; and estrogen response element binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process and positive regulation of glycolytic process. Predicted to be located in condensed chromosome; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of integrator complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 35. Orthologous to human ESRRB (estrogen related receptor beta). [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 Esrrb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
