Zkscan3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of autophagy; negative regulation of cellular senescence; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to several human genes including ZKSCAN3 (zinc finger with KRAB and SCAN domains 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 Zkscan3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
