Tfdp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of fat cell proliferation; positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within anoikis; epidermis development; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Rb-E2F complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including TFDP1 (transcription factor Dp-1). [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 Tfdp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
