Tcf7l1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axial mesoderm morphogenesis; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human TCF7L1 (transcription factor 7 like 1).

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 Tcf7l1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
