Elf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear body. Orthologous to human ELF2 (E74 like ETS transcription factor 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 Elf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
