Crocc Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables actin binding activity; kinesin binding activity; and structural molecule activity. A structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary basal body organization; epithelial structure maintenance; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; photoreceptor inner segment; and subapical part of cell. Is expressed in brain; ciliated columnar oviduct epithelium; metanephros; retina; and trachea. Orthologous to human CROCC (ciliary rootlet coiled-coil, rootletin).

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