Taf15 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA stabilization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chondrosarcoma and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Orthologous to human TAF15 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 15).

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 Taf15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
