Dbp Gene Summary [Mouse]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Par bZIP transcription factor family and binds to specific sequences in the promoters of several genes, such as albumin, Cyp2a4, and Cyp2a5. The encoded protein can bind DNA as a homo- or heterodimer and is involved in the regulation of some circadian rhythym genes. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

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