Thap7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and transcription corepressor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin organization and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin; nuclear membrane; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human THAP7 (THAP domain containing 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 Thap7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
