Rcor2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables enzyme binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and skeleton. Orthologous to human RCOR2 (REST corepressor 2).

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 Rcor2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
