E2f7 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator; regulation of cell cycle process; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cell population proliferation and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Orthologous to human E2F7 (E2F transcription factor 7). [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 E2f7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
