Xbp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hexose stimulus; intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; epithelial cell maturation; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeletal system. Used to study inflammatory bowel disease. Orthologous to human XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Xbp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
