Id3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including bHLH transcription factor binding activity; leptomycin B binding activity; and transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of myoblast differentiation; notochord development; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leptomycin B; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; metanephros; and sensory organ. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome. Orthologous to human ID3 (inhibitor of DNA binding 3). [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 Id3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
