Hoxd10 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including limb morphogenesis; neuron differentiation; and regionalization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and limb bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital vertical talus. Orthologous to human HOXD10 (homeobox D10). [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 Hoxd10 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
