Gtf2f1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity; TFIIF-class transcription factor complex binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription factor TFIID complex and transcription factor TFIIF complex. Orthologous to human GTF2F1 (general transcription factor IIF subunit 1).

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 Gtf2f1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
