Mepce Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable 7SK snRNA binding activity and RNA 5'-gamma-phosphate methyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of 7SK snRNP. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human MEPCE (methylphosphate capping enzyme). [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 Mepce often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
