Zscan10 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; limb mesenchyme; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ZSCAN10 (zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 10). [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 Zscan10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
