Pcgf2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; chordate embryonic development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nuclear body and sex chromatin. Predicted to be part of PRC1 complex. Orthologous to human PCGF2 (polycomb group ring finger 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 Pcgf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
