Pclaf Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA metabolic process; centrosome cycle; and response to UV. Predicted to be located in centrosome and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; facial prominence; limb; and skin. Orthologous to human PCLAF (PCNA clamp associated factor).

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