Trim28 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including protein domain specific binding activity; transcription coregulator activity; and ubiquitin-like protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of protein import into nucleus; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including convergent extension involved in axis elongation; embryo implantation; and negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in euchromatin; heterochromatin; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Orthologous to human TRIM28 (tripartite motif containing 28). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Trim28 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
