Zzz3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable histone reader activity; lysine-acetylated histone binding activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of cell division; regulation of embryonic development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of ATAC complex. Orthologous to human ZZZ3 (zinc finger ZZ-type containing 3).

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 Zzz3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
