Cdca5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in mitotic cell cycle and mitotic sister chromatid cohesion. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human CDCA5 (cell division cycle associated 5). [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 Cdca5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
