Tgif1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables co-SMAD binding activity. Involved in cellular response to growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of gene expression; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Biomarker of muscular atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly and holoprosencephaly 4. Orthologous to human TGIF1 (TGFB induced factor homeobox 1). [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 Tgif1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
