Taf10 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including allantois development; chordate embryonic development; and protein-containing complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; apoptotic process; and hepatocyte differentiation. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Part of transcription preinitiation complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; and sensory organ epithelium. Orthologous to human TAF10 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 10). [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 Taf10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
