Cic Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including learning or memory; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and social behavior. Predicted to act upstream of or within lung alveolus development and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 45. Orthologous to human CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor). [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 Cic often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF4819)
  • RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
  • transcription regulator
  • high mobility group (HMG)-box domain superfamily
  • HMG (high mobility group) box
  • HMG-box domain
  • high mobility group
  • chromatin binding
  • protein binding
  • N-terminal domain of transcription factor Specificity Proteins (SP) 1-4
