Safb Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within estrogen receptor signaling pathway; hormone metabolic process; and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in midbody and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; olfactory epithelium; reproductive system; and retina layer. Orthologous to human SAFB (scaffold attachment factor B). [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 Safb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
