Dcaf13 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in decidualization; oocyte growth; and rRNA processing. Located in nucleolus. Part of Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; and primary oocyte. Orthologous to human DCAF13 (DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 13).

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 Dcaf13 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
