KNOP1 Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleolar protein that interacts with zinc finger 106 protein. The encoded protein has several of the same characteristics as nucleostemin and may be involved in testis development. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

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 human KNOP1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Small acidic protein family
- protein binding
Subcellular Expression
Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
