Bcl3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular signal transduction; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to other organism; lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including ciliary basal body; midbody; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Bcl3-Bcl10 complex and Bcl3/NF-kappaB2 complex. Orthologous to human BCL3 (BCL3 transcription coactivator). [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 Bcl3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
