Zfp13 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human ZNF205 (zinc finger protein 205).

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 mouse Zfp13 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
