Ccdc66 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception. Located in photoreceptor inner segment. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex ventricular layer; ganglia; nucleus pulposus; spinal cord; and vibrissa. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human CCDC66 (coiled-coil domain containing 66). [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 Ccdc66 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
