Nupr1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including acetyltransferase activator activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; negative regulation of autophagy; and regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in intercellular bridge; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NUPR1 (nuclear protein 1, transcriptional regulator). [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 Nupr1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
