Tbx18

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and neural plate anterior/posterior regionalization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic morphogenesis; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including body cavity or lining; cardiovascular system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CAKUT2. Orthologous to human TBX18 (T-box transcription factor 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Tbx18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
