Snw1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including Notch binding activity; nuclear receptor binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in cellular response to retinoic acid and positive regulation of neurogenesis. Acts upstream of or within skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in chromatin; nuclear matrix; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of SMAD protein complex; U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome; and cyclin/CDK positive transcription elongation factor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human SNW1 (SNW domain containing 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 Snw1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
