Phc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor and cellular response to retinoic acid. Located in nuclear body and sex chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy and tetralogy of Fallot. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 11. Orthologous to human PHC1 (polyhomeotic homolog 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 Phc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SPM domain
- Sterile alpha motif
- transcription regulator
- Unstructured region on Polyhomeotic-like protein 1 and 2
- SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
- SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif)
- chromatin binding
- protein binding
- protein transduction domain
