Ncoa1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to Thyroglobulin triiodothyronine; labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; and regulation of thyroid hormone receptor signaling pathway. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study obesity and thyroid hormone resistance syndrome. Orthologous to human NCOA1 (nuclear receptor coactivator 1). [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 Ncoa1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
