Zbtb7b Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of signal transduction; regulation of alpha-beta T cell activation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; forebrain; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ZBTB7B (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7B). [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 Zbtb7b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
