Fan1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables 5'-3' exonuclease activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; interstrand cross-link repair; and nucleotide-excision repair. Predicted to be located in cytosol; intercellular bridge; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; and testis. Used to study karyomegalic interstitial nephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in karyomegalic interstitial nephritis. Orthologous to human FAN1 (FANCD2 and FANCI associated nuclease 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Fan1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
