Sox14 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nervous system development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within entrainment of circadian clock; regulation of neuron migration; and visual perception. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human SOX14 (SRY-box transcription factor 14). [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 Sox14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
