Ccs Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable copper ion binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and superoxide dismutase copper chaperone activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of oxidoreductase activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Orthologous to human CCS (copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase). [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 Ccs often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
