Pogz Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in kinetochore assembly; mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to be located in chromatin; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in White-Sutton syndrome. Orthologous to human POGZ (pogo transposable element derived with ZNF domain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Pogz often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
