Nfkb2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in response to cytokine and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Bcl3/NF-kappaB2 complex. Used to study Parkinsonism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common variable immunodeficiency 10. Orthologous to human NFKB2 (nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2). [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 Nfkb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Death domain
- RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific binding transcriptional activator activity
- glycine rich domain
- transcription regulator
- Ankyrin repeats (many copies)
- nucleic acid binding
- IPT
- Rel homology dimerization domain
- alpha helix
- transcription activation domain
- Ankyrin repeats (3 copies)
- protein binding
- sequence-specific DNA binding
- Ankyrin repeat
- phosphorylation site
- RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
- C-terminal death domain
- double-stranded DNA binding
- N-terminal sub-domain of the Rel homology domain (RHD)
- Death Domain Superfamily of protein-protein interaction domains
- transcription factor activity
- ankyrin repeats
