Wbp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; nuclear estrogen receptor binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to estrogen stimulus; positive regulation of intracellular estrogen receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in chromatin; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in epidermis and epidermis basal layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 107. Orthologous to human WBP2 (WW domain binding protein 2).

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 Wbp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
