Prdm15 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of stem cell division. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; incisor; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human PRDM15 (PR/SET domain 15).

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 Prdm15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
