Bcl9l Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including canonical Wnt signaling pathway; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Predicted to act upstream of or within myoblast differentiation; skeletal muscle cell differentiation; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF complex. Orthologous to human BCL9L (BCL9 like).

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 Bcl9l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
