Ell2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II and snRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription elongation factor complex. Orthologous to human ELL2 (elongation factor for RNA polymerase II 2). [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 Ell2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
