Rsf1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable histone binding activity and histone octamer slider activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nucleosome assembly; positive regulation of viral transcription; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RSF complex. Orthologous to human RSF1 (remodeling and spacing factor 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 Rsf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
