Zfp384 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and SH3 domain binding activity. Involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport; positive regulation of protein secretion; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in focal adhesion. Orthologous to human ZNF384 (zinc finger protein 384). [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 Zfp384 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
