Sin3a Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including cerebral cortex neuron differentiation; negative regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of axon extension. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; positive regulation of G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; and response to methylglyoxal. Located in kinetochore and nucleus. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; pancreas; and paraxial mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chromosome 15q24 deletion syndrome. Orthologous to human SIN3A (SIN3 transcription regulator family member A).

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 Sin3a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
