Zfp335 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; histone methyltransferase binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in nervous system development; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; in utero embryonic development; and regulation of neurogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of histone methyltransferase complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 10. Orthologous to human ZNF335 (zinc finger protein 335). [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 Zfp335 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
