Nr2f1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Used to study Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome. Orthologous to human NR2F1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 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 Nr2f1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
