Nr2e1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of stem cell proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Orthologous to human NR2E1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 1). [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 Nr2e1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
