Phc3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Part of PcG protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human PHC3 (polyhomeotic homolog 3).

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 Phc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Sterile alpha motif
- transcription regulator
- SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
