Cnot7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables piRNA binding activity and poly(A)-specific ribonuclease activity. Involved in positive regulation of mRNA catabolic process and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within P-body assembly and positive regulation of RNA metabolic process. Located in P-body and nucleus. Part of CCR4-NOT complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early embryo; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human CNOT7 (CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 7). [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 Cnot7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
