Nr2f6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and neuron development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NR2F6 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 6). [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 Nr2f6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding
  • RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific binding transcriptional repressor activity
  • DNA-binding domain of nuclear receptors is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers
  • nucleic acid binding
  • ligand-binding domain
  • double-stranded DNA binding
  • ligand-dependent nuclear receptor
  • protein binding
