Ttll5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables tubulin-glutamic acid ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within fertilization; protein polyglutamylation; and sperm axoneme assembly. Located in 9+0 non-motile cilium and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in brain and early embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 19. Orthologous to human TTLL5 (tubulin tyrosine ligase like 5). [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 Ttll5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- acid-D-amino acid ligase
- Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase L chain, ATP binding domain
- enzyme
