Btg2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; negative regulation of neuroblast proliferation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human BTG2 (BTG anti-proliferation factor 2). [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 Btg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
