Cdk5rap1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables tRNA-2-methylthio-N(6)-dimethylallyladenosine(37) synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial tRNA modification; positive regulation of mitochondrial translation; and positive regulation of translational fidelity. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adenohypophysis; alimentary system; nose; submandibular gland primordium; and trigeminal ganglion. Orthologous to human CDK5RAP1 (CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 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 Cdk5rap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
