Prkdc Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA-dependent protein kinase activity; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation; regulation of hemopoiesis; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA metabolic process; ectopic germ cell programmed cell death; and hemopoiesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; neural retina; and thymus primordium. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy; severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, Nk cell-positive; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 26. Orthologous to human PRKDC (protein kinase, DNA-activated, catalytic subunit). [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 Prkdc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
