Baz1b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables histone binding activity. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Acts upstream of or within chromatin organization. Located in condensed chromosome; nucleus; and pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; lung; and pancreas. Used to study Williams-Beuren syndrome. Orthologous to human BAZ1B (bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 1B). [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 Baz1b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
