Cdt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA replication checkpoint signaling and regulation of DNA-templated DNA replication initiation. Acts upstream of or within regulation of nuclear cell cycle DNA replication. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; brain ventricular layer; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; liver; and trunk mesenchyme derived from neural crest. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 4. Orthologous to human CDT1 (chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1).

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 Cdt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- PCNA binding domain
- chromatin binding
- Cdt1 middle winged helix domain
- protein binding
- PIP degron
- cyclin-binding domain
- Cdt1_c
