Ybx3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male gonad development; negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development; and positive regulation of organ growth. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; jaw; limb bud; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human YBX3 (Y-box binding protein 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 Ybx3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
