Zfp827 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable NuRD complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of protein localization to telomere; negative regulation of shelterin complex assembly; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in chromatin and chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ZNF827 (zinc finger protein 827). [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 Zfp827 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
