Gpbp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human GPBP1 (GC-rich promoter binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gpbp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
