Bcl9 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable beta-catenin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in canonical Wnt signaling pathway and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including myotube differentiation involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; skeletal muscle cell differentiation; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cis-Golgi network; nucleus; and sarcoplasm. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF complex. Orthologous to human BCL9 (BCL9 transcription coactivator).

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 Bcl9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
