Meiosin Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and protein dimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of meiosis; cellular response to retinoic acid; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human MEIOSIN (meiosis initiator). [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 Meiosin often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
