Cbfb Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; protein polyubiquitination; and regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; osteoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of core-binding activity factor complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Orthologous to human CBFB (core-binding factor subunit beta). [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 Cbfb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
