Zfp90 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; lung; male reproductive system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human ZFP90 (ZFP90 zinc finger protein). [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 Zfp90 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
