M1AP Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a protein that is likely to function in progression of meiosis. A similar protein in mouse plays a role in gametogenesis in both sexes. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

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 M1AP often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
