Hmga1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

This locus encodes a member of the nuclear, non-histone high mobility group protein family. This architectural transcription factor binds to A-T rich DNA sequences and participates in enhanceosome formation, chromatin remodeling and regulation of transcription. This protein functions in many cellular processes, including cell growth and differentiation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

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 Hmga1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
