Gtf2e2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity. Predicted to contribute to TFIIH-class transcription factor complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription factor TFIID complex and transcription factor TFIIE complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; central nervous system; foregut; genitourinary system; and liver lobe. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nonphotosensitive trichothiodystrophy 6. Orthologous to human GTF2E2 (general transcription factor IIE subunit 2).

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 Gtf2e2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
