Uxt Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable beta-tubulin binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in centrosome cycle and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in centrosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of RPAP3/R2TP/prefoldin-like complex and mediator complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum; neural retina; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human UXT (ubiquitously expressed prefoldin like chaperone).

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