Cdx2

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endosome to lysosome transport; in utero embryonic development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human CDX2 (caudal type homeobox 2).

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 Cdx2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
