Cul9 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization; protein ubiquitination; and regulation of mitotic nuclear division. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system gland; muscle tissue; retina nuclear layer; and testis. Orthologous to human CUL9 (cullin 9). [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 Cul9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
