Sall1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ectoderm development; nephron epithelium morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including kidney development; limb morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Part of NuRD complex. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; metanephros; and sensory organ. Used to study Townes-Brocks syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Townes-Brocks syndrome; middle lobe syndrome; and renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human SALL1 (spalt like transcription factor 1).

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 Sall1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
