Cdkal1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables tRNA (N(6)-L-threonylcarbamoyladenosine(37)-C(2))-methylthiotransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within maintenance of translational fidelity and tRNA methylthiolation. Located in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in olfactory epithelium and testis. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetes mellitus; diabetic retinopathy; gestational diabetes; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human CDKAL1 (CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 1 like 1). [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 Cdkal1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
