E2f2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of sprouting angiogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; lens fiber cell apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Orthologous to human E2F2 (E2F transcription factor 2).

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 E2f2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
