Dmrt3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; regulation of odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and ventral spinal cord interneuron specification. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and nose. Orthologous to human DMRT3 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Dmrt3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
