Gem Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium channel regulator activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome organization; metaphase chromosome alignment; and mitotic cell cycle. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; clavicle; dorsal grey horn; gut; and tooth. Orthologous to human GEM (GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle).

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