Zfp536 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and retinoic acid-responsive element binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron differentiation and negative regulation of retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ZNF536 (zinc finger protein 536). [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 Zfp536 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
