Nfic Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina nuclear layer; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human NFIC (nuclear factor I C). [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 Nfic often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
