Bard1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein export from nucleus; protein K6-linked ubiquitination; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and spleen. Used to study breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human BARD1 (BRCA1 associated RING domain 1). [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 Bard1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
