Gata3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; interleukin-2 receptor binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial tube formation; heart development; and intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; regulation of gene expression; and ureter development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypoparathyroidism; hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome; nephrosis; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human GATA3 (GATA binding protein 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 Gata3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
