Cnp Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior; neurogenesis; and response to toxic substance. Located in cytoplasm; membrane; and myelin sheath. Is expressed in adrenal gland; gut; nervous system; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 20; multiple sclerosis; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human CNP (2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3' phosphodiesterase).

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