Rxrg Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables nuclear receptor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; musculature; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RXRG (retinoid X receptor gamma). [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 mouse Rxrg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
