Nr2c2 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 several processes, including p38MAPK cascade; positive regulation of myoblast differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; meiotic cell cycle; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human NR2C2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group C member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Nr2c2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
