Cript Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoplasmic microtubule organization; protein localization to microtubule; and regulation of postsynaptic density organization. Predicted to be located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be part of spliceosomal complex. Predicted to be active in dendrite; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and retina layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. Orthologous to human CRIPT (CXXC repeat containing interactor of PDZ3 domain).

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