Zbtb32 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; transcription corepressor activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within T cell proliferation; hemopoiesis; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in nuclear chromosome. Orthologous to human ZBTB32 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 32). [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 Zbtb32 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
