Utp23 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity; mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity; and small ribosomal subunit rRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within endonucleolytic cleavage in 5'-ETS of tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be part of small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human UTP23 (UTP23 small subunit processome component).

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 Utp23 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • mRNA 3' UTR binding
  • mRNA 5' UTR binding
  • protein binding
  • PIN (PilT N terminus) domain: Superfamily
