Gata5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; cellular response to nitric oxide; and positive regulation of apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); atrial fibrillation (multiple); congenital heart disease (multiple); and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human GATA5 (GATA binding protein 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gata5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
