E2f4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; cell volume homeostasis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study otitis media. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome. Orthologous to human E2F4 (E2F transcription factor 4). [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 E2f4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
