Pttg1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within homologous chromosome segregation; mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in axoneme. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; limb; mesonephric tubule of male; and testis. Orthologous to several human genes including PTTG1 (PTTG1 regulator of sister chromatid separation, securin). [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 Pttg1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
