Tlx1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in animal organ development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of stem cell proliferation; and spleen development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Orthologous to human TLX1 (T cell leukemia homeobox 1).

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 Tlx1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
- transcription regulator
- glycine proline rich domain
- octapeptide domain
