Mocs1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables GTP 3',8'-cyclase activity; S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; and cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate synthase activity. Involved in molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Used to study molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A. Orthologous to human MOCS1 (molybdenum cofactor synthesis 1). [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 Mocs1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
