Zbtb17 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within ectoderm development; gastrulation with mouth forming second; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cortical plate; early conceptus; genitourinary system; limb; and trunk somite. Orthologous to human ZBTB17 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 17).

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 Zbtb17 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
