Nsun7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the NOL1/NOP2/sun domain RNA methyltransferase family. Mice with a mutation in this gene exhibit male sterility due to impaired sperm motility. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

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 Nsun7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
