Nkrf Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATPase activator activity; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human NKRF (NFKB repressing factor). [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 Nkrf often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
