Mlh1

Enables chromatin binding activity and guanine/thymine mispair binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of isotype switching to IgA isotypes and positive regulation of isotype switching to IgG isotypes. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA metabolic process; meiotic nuclear division; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome and male germ cell nucleus. Part of MutLalpha complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; oral epithelium; and respiratory system. Used to study Lynch syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung cancer; mismatch repair cancer syndrome; and sporadic breast cancer. Orthologous to human MLH1 (mutL homolog 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Mlh1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
