Crym Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables hormone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within thyroid hormone metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 40. Orthologous to human CRYM (crystallin mu). [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 Crym often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
