Pias4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including SUMO ligase activity; transcription corepressor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein localization to chromatin; positive regulation of keratinocyte apoptotic process; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of signal transduction; and skin epidermis development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nuclear matrix; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transferase complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin. Orthologous to human PIAS4 (protein inhibitor of activated STAT 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pias4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
