Hinfp Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in DNA-templated transcription; in utero embryonic development; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in Cajal body. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human HINFP (histone H4 transcription factor). [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 Hinfp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
