CCHCR1 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a protein with five coiled-coil alpha-helical rod domains that is thought to act as a regulator of mRNA metabolism through its interaction with mRNA-decapping protein 4. It localizes to P-bodies, the site of mRNA metabolism, with an N-terminus that is required for this subcellular localization, suggesting it is a P-body component. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with psoriasis. [provided by RefSeq, May 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 CCHCR1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
