Nr2f2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and response to estradiol. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Used to study hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XX sex reversal 5. Orthologous to human NR2F2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2). [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 Nr2f2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
