Muc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; p53 binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator; negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in apical plasma membrane and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; exocrine system; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic rhinitis; autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease; biliary tract benign neoplasm; dry eye syndrome; and pancreatic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MUC1 (mucin 1, cell surface associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Muc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • extracellular domain
  • nucleic acid binding
  • ectodomain
  • SEA domain
  • transcription cofactor
  • p53 binding
  • protein binding
  • sequence-specific DNA binding
  • tandem repeat
  • serine-rich region
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • double-stranded DNA binding
  • transmembrane domain
  • cytosolic tail domain
  • transmembrane receptor
