Onecut1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and spleen development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; liver and biliary system; retina; and urinary system. Orthologous to human ONECUT1 (one cut homeobox 1).

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 Onecut1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
