Ncoa3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in cell dedifferentiation; positive regulation of stem cell population maintenance; and regulation of stem cell division. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; mammary gland branching involved in thelarche; and negative regulation of stem cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human NCOA3 (nuclear receptor coactivator 3). [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 Ncoa3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
