Tdg Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including SUMO binding activity; protein kinase C binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in base-excision repair; epigenetic regulation of gene expression; and regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in PML body. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; genitourinary system; nervous system; retina; and skin. Orthologous to human TDG (thymine DNA glycosylase).

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