Zfp91 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in activation of NF-kappaB-inducing kinase activity; protein K63-linked ubiquitination; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study acute myeloid leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in stomach cancer. Orthologous to human ZFP91 (ZFP91 zinc finger protein, atypical E3 ubiquitin ligase). [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 Zfp91 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
