Chrac1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA-templated DNA replication; nucleosome assembly; and regulation of DNA replication. Located in pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CHRAC1 (chromatin accessibility complex subunit 1). [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 Chrac1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- histone-fold domain
- histone fold domain (HFD) superfamily
- tail domain
- enzyme
- protein binding
