Dck Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables deoxyadenosine kinase activity. Involved in dAMP salvage. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; midbrain; nose; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human DCK (deoxycytidine kinase).

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