Uhrf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; histone binding activity; and ubiquitin-like protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation; protein autoubiquitination; and regulation of cell cycle. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and pericentric heterochromatin. Orthologous to human UHRF2 (ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2).

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 Uhrf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
