Mkrn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; and spleen. Orthologous to several human genes including MKRN1 (makorin ring finger protein 1). [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 Mkrn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
