Nfe2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; WW domain binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to contribute to cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer blood vessel development; negative regulation of bone mineralization; and positive regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation. Predicted to be located in PML body and cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex and protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NFE2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 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 Nfe2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
