Foxn3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within craniofacial suture morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FOXN3 (forkhead box N3). [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 Foxn3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
