Zfp385a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and p53 binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response; post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression; and regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including myeloid cell differentiation; platelet alpha granule organization; and positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromatin; dendrite; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in neuronal cell body and nucleus. Orthologous to human ZNF385A (zinc finger protein 385A). [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 Zfp385a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- mRNA 3' UTR binding
- Zinc-finger double-stranded RNA-binding
- U1 zinc finger
- p53 binding
