Top2b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA topoisomerase type II (double strand cut, ATP-hydrolyzing) activity. Involved in B cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis; forebrain development; and neuron migration. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human TOP2B (DNA topoisomerase II beta). [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 Top2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
