Tbx2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial heart septal defect; heart septal defect; and vertebral anomalies and variable endocrine and T-cell dysfunction. Orthologous to human TBX2 (T-box transcription factor 2). [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 Tbx2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
