Ywhaz Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; synaptic target recognition; and tube morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; protein targeting; and regulation of programmed cell death. Located in nucleus. Is active in hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study schizophrenia. Orthologous to human YWHAZ (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein zeta). [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 Ywhaz often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
