Ncapg2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables bHLH transcription factor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of chromosome segregation and positive regulation of chromosome separation. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on erythrocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of with a negative effect on transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within inner cell mass cell proliferation. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of condensin complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including axial musculature; brain; hemolymphoid system; liver; and nasal cavity epithelium. Orthologous to human NCAPG2 (non-SMC condensin II complex subunit G2).

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 Ncapg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
