Mcrs1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and telomerase inhibitor activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA metabolic process; regulation of embryonic development; and telomere maintenance. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; nuclear lumen; and perikaryon. Predicted to be part of Ino80 complex; MLL1 complex; and NSL complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human MCRS1 (microspherule protein 1). [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 Mcrs1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
