Ncoa2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; locomotor rhythm; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to Thyroglobulin triiodothyronine; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to progesterone. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; colorectal carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and prostate adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human NCOA2 (nuclear receptor coactivator 2). [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 Ncoa2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
