Aebp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables transcription coregulator activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of ESC/E(Z) complex. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; brain ventricular layer; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and gut. Used to study Hirschsprung's disease and Waardenburg syndrome. Orthologous to human AEBP2 (AE binding protein 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 Aebp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
