Uty Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and histone H3K36 demethylase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle cell contraction; heterochromatin formation; and in utero embryonic development. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; forelimb bud; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human UTY (ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat containing, Y-linked). [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 Uty often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
