Ncor2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity; sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; protein stabilization; and random inactivation of X chromosome. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; regulation of primary metabolic process; and type I pneumocyte differentiation. Located in nuclear body. Part of histone deacetylase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; retina layer; and tooth. Used to study myelofibrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human NCOR2 (nuclear receptor corepressor 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 Ncor2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
