Tp73 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of neuron differentiation; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Located in chromatin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Epstein-Barr virus infectious disease; cervical cancer; colorectal cancer; kidney cancer (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human TP73 (tumor protein p73). [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 Tp73 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
