Prdm5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in nuclear body and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brittle cornea syndrome 2. Orthologous to human PRDM5 (PR/SET domain 5). [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 Prdm5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
