Sesn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable L-leucine binding activity and oxidoreductase activity, acting on peroxide as acceptor. Involved in cellular response to amino acid stimulus; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and negative regulation of cell growth. Acts upstream of or within regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of GATOR2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human SESN1 (sestrin 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 Sesn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
