Stpg4 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in epigenetic programing of male pronucleus. Predicted to act upstream of or within pyrimidine-containing compound catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; female germ cell nucleus; and male germ cell nucleus. Predicted to be active in female pronucleus; germinal vesicle; and male pronucleus. Orthologous to human STPG4 (sperm-tail PG-rich repeat containing 4).

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 Stpg4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
