L3mbtl2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ectoderm development; stem cell differentiation; and stem cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; genitourinary system; gut; and immune system. Orthologous to human L3MBTL2 (L3MBTL histone methyl-lysine binding protein 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 L3mbtl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
