Zfp36 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; negative regulation of inflammatory response; and regulation of RNA metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; cytosol; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of CCR4-NOT complex and ribonucleoprotein complex. Orthologous to human ZFP36 (ZFP36 ring finger protein). [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 Zfp36 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
