Ets2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within ectodermal cell fate commitment; mesoderm development; and primitive streak formation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human ETS2 (ETS proto-oncogene 2, transcription factor). [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 Ets2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
