Hcfc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a transcription cofactor that regulates the progression of cell cycle and maintain the ability of embryonic stem cells to self-renew. The encoded protein is a large precursor that undergoes site-specific proteolytic cleavage to yield N- and C-terminal chains that form a non-covalent heterodimer. The encoded protein has been implicated in the regulation of expression of immediate early genes after herpes simplex virus infection and glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells.

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 Hcfc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
