Dach1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in regulation of nuclear cell cycle DNA replication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell population proliferation; suckling behavior; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DACH1 (dachshund family transcription factor 1). [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 Dach1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
