Nr1i3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; heart; liver; and thymus. Orthologous to human NR1I3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 3).

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 Nr1i3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
