Dcc Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; netrin receptor activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in postsynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within generation of neurons. Located in axon. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; lung; and retina. Used to study essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; congenital mirror movement disorder; and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human DCC (DCC netrin 1 receptor).

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