Nacc2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and protein homooligomerization. Predicted to be located in chromatin; mitochondrion; and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; limb; renal calyx; submandibular gland primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human NACC2 (NACC family member 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 Nacc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
