Tox2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; lens epithelium; notochord; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human TOX2 (TOX high mobility group box family member 2).

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 Tox2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- lysine rich domain
- transcription regulator
- transcription co-activator
- serine-rich region
- high mobility group (HMG)-box domain superfamily
- HMG (high mobility group) box
- HMG-box domain
- high mobility group
- transcription factor binding
- protein binding
