Pcgf5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable histone H2AK119 ubiquitin ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in random inactivation of X chromosome and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; X chromosome; and centrosome. Predicted to be part of PRC1 complex. Orthologous to human PCGF5 (polycomb group ring finger 5). [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 Pcgf5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
