CXXC1 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional activator that binds specifically to non-methylated CpG motifs through its CXXC domain. The protein is a component of the SETD1 complex, regulates gene expression and is essential for vertebrate development. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

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 CXXC1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
