Carnmt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable carnosine N-methyltransferase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in carnosine metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and skeletal muscle. Orthologous to human CARNMT1 (carnosine N-methyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Carnmt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
