Cdkn1c Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein kinase inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic placenta morphogenesis; regulation of gene expression; and uterus development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and pre-eclampsia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome; IMAGe syndrome; and hyperinsulinism. Orthologous to human CDKN1C (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1C). [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 Cdkn1c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • QT domain
  • PCNA binding domain
  • 3-10 helix
  • Cki domain
  • protein kinase inhibitor activity
  • alpha helix
  • cdk phosphorylation site
  • protein binding
  • acidic domain
  • proline rich domain
  • cyclin-dependent kinase binding domain
  • cyclin-CDK binding domain
  • binding protein
