Tasor Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mesodermal to mesenchymal transition involved in gastrulation; protein localization to heterochromatin; and transposable element silencing by heterochromatin formation. Predicted to be active in heterochromatin and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human TASOR (transcription activation suppressor). [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 Tasor often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
